+derivatives) include:

+	* configurable prompt
+	* context sensitive command and filename completion
+	* dynamic progress bar
+	* feature negotiation extensions from RFC 2389
+	  (see `feat' and `remopts')
+	* extensions to ftp from the IETF ftpext working group
+	  (see `mlsd' and `mlst')
+	* IPv6 support (from the WIDE project)
+	* modification time preservation
+	* paging of local and remote files, and of directory listings
+	  (see `lpage', `page', `pdir')
+	* passive mode support, with fallback to active mode
+	* retrieval of filenames listed in a given file (see `fget')
+	* `set option' override of ftp environment variables
+	* TIS Firewall Toolkit gate ftp proxy support (see `gate')
