stftp stands for simple terminal FTP. It aims to be an easy-to-use and unbloated client for the UNIX (and UNIX-like) console. It uses the curses library to present the remote directory as a navigable list, affording more ease of use then the plain ftp program. Overall, it hopes to be a much easier way of doing FTP from the command line than most programs to date.
