One minor niglet in ftp that has always caught me is that you can't
reopen a closed connection without an explicit close first. For
instance:
$ ftp ftp.gnu.org
...
# wait a few minutes, so the connection gets closed.
ftp> open ftp.gnu.org
Already connected to ftp.gnu.org, use close first.
Well, I knew that, that's why I wanted to reopen :). If the connection
is already closed, is there any harm in just going forward?
I realize it's not exactly trivial, since it means `open' has to somehow
get the state of the connection before issuing the message, but
hopefully that's ultimately feasible?
Just a suggestion ...
Thanks,
Karl
