Windows FTP

[Mike Dopheide]

Please don't laugh.

Some of my users have a need for a Windows FTP client that works with KfW. 
Wait, it gets better.

The only two I'm familiar with are FileZilla and Kermit 95.  The problem 
is that the specialized server they need to connect to doesn't support the 
ftp PROT command (ie, unencrypted data streams only).  So while the unix 
command line 'ftp' works, 'ftp -x' does not.  I don't have any control 
over the server in question, so I can't just upgrade that side.

Enter FileZilla.  When contacted about adding an option to remove PROT, I 
was told they are likely to be removing GSS support entirely due to the 
lack of a test environment.

Enter Kermit 95.  They do have an option for PROT 'clear', but issuing 
PROT still causes the server to respond with an error.  The biggest 
problem here, of course, is that Kermit costs money so I haven't contacted 
them about the option I need yet.

Are there any other FTP clients out there that work with KfW?  Command 
line is fine.  I'm willing to put in some time on this, but to be honest 
I'm not an applications programmer.  I'm definately not a Windows 
developer.
