 NAME
      nxftp - NXftp is a Motif front end for the standard ftp command in
      Unix.

 SYNOPSIS
      nxftp [size-options]

 DESCRIPTION
      It allows the user to double click on a directory name to change
      directories, on a file to download or read it online if it is text,
      and change the directory in which files are placed.  This is a much
      needed change for the ftp user.  Furthermore, it allows the user to
      easily create custom site lists to prevent having to re-enter the site
      names commonly used.

 NEW FEATURES
      *  Interface has been reorganized -- better display of info!!  *  The
      custom user list is sorted *  Much better stability and compatibility
      with sites *  Symbolic links in the site dir are properly separated
      into files and directories *  Remaining disk space function works with
      both AFS and non-AFS Unix systems now *  Improved error messages
