Hello again! I'm trying to install a terminal based FTP client on the Dockstar with TLS-AUTH support and ASCII-gui.

The only programm I know is pftp. But since there are no packages in the repositories (or I can't find them). So I tried to compile the sources from here: http://pftpmew.tanesha.net/content/pftpfxp-v0.11.4mew6.tgz or http://www.derijk.org/pftp/pftp-shit.v.1.12.zip

I have a clean install of debian squeeze (installed with Jeff's script) and before compiling I installed following:

apt-get install build-essentials libssl-dev libncurses5-dev

Then I started ./configure and make dynamic. Here's the output:

root@debian:/tmp/pftpfxp-mew# ./configure
pFTP configure utility by HoE...
Platform = Linux
Using make = make
OpenSSL dir = /usr
Done, you can do "make static" or "make dynamic" now...
root@debian:/tmp/pftpfxp-mew# make dynamic
cd src;make dynamic;cd ..
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/pftpfxp-mew/src'

I hope anyone can help me. I would also use another FTP client, but I need TLS-AUTH (ssl support) and an ASCII-gui like midnight commander. Thanks!

to remove " warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*' ", use the following swith
"-Wno-write-strings "
for the other warning 'typedef' was ignored in this declaration, I am still looking for solution.

Temporarily I'm using lftp. It works great but the browsing is horrible. I have just the command line an ls is showing all details in one huge list. I have to use the pipe and more, then it became reliable.
