I couldn't get gFTP working. See ./configure output below. Is GLIB an 
X-Windows thing? I don't have X and gFTP is hard-tied to X? Couldn't find 
a configure option to only build the command line version...

I got "lftp" working:

    http://lftp.yar.ru/

Yay! man lftp:

    lftp can handle six file access methods - ftp, ftps, http, https,
    hftp, fish and file (https and ftps are only available when lftp is
    compiled with openssl library).

Thanks Jon!
