Re: Status of Net_FTP

Hello, Most bugfixes already have patches associated with them and are quite small as well. For the larger fixes I'll develop a fix this week hopefully. I do not want to get involved too much right away as I can't guarantee that I have enough time. It's just that I (and others of course) need these issues to be resolved. Besides that, I prefer not to code for PHP 4 anymore and Net_FTP2 seems to be PHP 4 and 5. Is there some page stating the goal of Net_FTP2 over Net_FTP? So my primary goal is to reduce the bug list for Net_FTP.
