1. For this particular purpose, best way is ncftp, as has been outlined.
2. In general, there's two other ways I prefer to spin off a process:
* run a batch process, either by 'batch' or 'at now'
* use a 'nohup' command, eg nohup scp user@host:file destfile &
See man page on nohup, batch, and at. One gotcha is need to use ^D for the
last line of any interactive command entry for batch and at.

Subject: UNIX / Telnet Question - Keeping a process running

This is a general UNIX question,so all you sysadmins out there help me
out.
I want to download a CD-image (Mandrake 8.1) for a friend, then burn it
to CD. However, my desktop box is so loud that I can't sleep with it on.
Therefore, I want to do the download with my fileserver, (which is
quiet) then NFS it over to my desktop for the burn.
Painfully easy, yes?
Well, the fileserver runs headless, and I talk to it with SSH.
I ssh in, fire up ftp, start the download, then go to turn the desktop
off.
Of course, I realize, that's going to end my ssh session and stop the
download.
How do I keep this process running without leaving the desktop on?
Thanks!
