LFtp is a client ftp program for Palm Computing Platforms, that means not only true palms but also TRGPro and CLIe ( read further...) LFtp is based on NetSample, which is furnished in the Palm SDK, I removed a lot of useless (for me) features and added a lot of nice ones.

LFtp is mainly a command line interpreter which can launch only one utility: ftp. Beeing in ftp mode, one can upload and download palm databases (.pdb and .prc) to a ftp server.
