· remote and local text file viewing and editing
· network errors detection and resuming of currently executing command
· artial download resuming (if server accepts REST command)
· tab completion for both local and remote names
· autologin using classic ~/.netrc approach
· large file support.
Requirements:
· You will need tools to extract the source, and the C compiler.
· A text editor and a pager will be needed at run-time for some additional (optional) functionalities (read on).
