WOW!!! What an oversight for the webmasters among us! No ncftp??? 
Whadupwidat? One of my most used tools and ncftpget is unique to my 
knowledge? Sadly, this seems to be yet another tidbit of a move by 
RedHat which I don't care for. Seems with all the forced package 
installs, a bit bloated, and no real good fanancial solution for 
webservers... Maybe they don't want no stinkin' webservers running RedHat?
