Subject: Screen Paging and FTP


Using the standard ftp program, is there a way to page the screen?  For
instance, if I'm listing a _huge_ directory, is there a command which
provides an equivalent function to less or more, since neither of which
seem to function in ftp?

I've checked the ftp man page, as well as Linux in a Nutshell.  If the
answer is in either of these sources, it has escaped me.


ls . |more Will give you one page at a time in FTP.
