This news client doesn't automatically reference ftp links, only http.
I *could* have used gftp, or plain old command line ftp, or even link
John's ftp directory tree into my own tree, using the file manager and
just copy across. However, I *wanted* to use wget, since it's quick and
clean. Firefox was the next least labor-intensive way, copy-click- paste.
Bet you don't have a file manager that does ftp ;-)
Using the Agent newsreader, I can double-click on a web or ftp link in
a usenet post or in email, and it launches a Firefox tab and opens the
thing. This is under XP.
