    Date: Sunday, April 6, 2008 @ 02:38:31
  Author: iulius
Revision: 7739

Rewrite simpleftp to use Net::FTP.
Indeed, ftp.pl is no longer shipped with Perl 5 and the script
does not work.

  * Add support for usernames, passwords and ports.
  * Fix typos in the documentation.
  * Remove the use of fixscript on simpleftp.
  * Perl warnings are now on.
