ugggg...ok so my ignorance will surely come alive...someone please tell me that this lftpget ncftpget stuff is not related to clamav...if it is then I am really in trouble!!! ...I have no clue!
actually this came up while trying to install mailscanner with clamav, which required perl CPAN modules, which required configuring (auto) perl CPAN autoretrievement which wanted ncftp...
(so it is on topic!)
Cheers, MaZe.
