Description:    sFTP is a screen-oriented FTP client, based on the curses
                library.  It establishes a session to the FTP server, and
                displays the contents of the directory on the FTP server in
                a window.  Another window shows the contents of the current
                directory, locally.  You can transfer files simply by moving
                the cursor in the scrollable list until it is on top of the
                file, then hitting ENTER.

                sFTP automates many tasks.  sFTP will remember a list of
                your favorite FTP servers, and a userid for each one, then
                connect to it when the server is selected from a menu.
                A one-key shortcut is provided for an anonymous FTP session.
                It is no longer necessary to enter "anonymous", and your
                E-mail address, each time you wish to browse sunsite :-)

                sFTP allows you to tag multiple files, and transfer them
                all in one shot.  sFTP estimates how long the transfer
                takes, and shows you the rate of transfer.  sFTP can be
                instructed which filename extensions represent text files, and,
                sFTP will choose an ASCII or a BINARY transfer for each
                file individually, and automatically.

                sFTP supports many common FTP operations: rename, delete,
                create directory, delete directory.
                ---
                sFTP can grab a short README file, and display it on the
                screen, without having to save the README in a file, exit
                to the shell, read the file, and delete it.
                ---
                sFTP can be programmed, using a shell script, to understand
                the directory layout of pretty much any FTP server in
                existence.  The distribution file includes a shell script for
                your typical, run-of-the-mill, Unix based FTP server.  The
                included manual page documents this process fully.

		In other words, sFTP will make your life a little easier.
