Subject: Feature request: Support lftp
(2) I don't have ncftp installed, I have lftp instead. In CPAN.pm, I simply gave the path to that lftp binary and things worked well (until I broke CPAN.pm trying to have it upgrade itself). In CPANPLUS, there's no easy way to use lftpget instead of ncftpget -- now I know why, cause I found the File::Fetch code!

Hi, I've just added support for lftp to file::fetch. From the commit message: * Address: #37649: Feature request: Support lftp File::Fetch now supports lftp, with one minor caveat: since lftp supports shell meta chars in some cases, it interperts & as a command to background the fetch. We can not reliably escape this, so currently we don't support fetching URIs with a & in them with lftp Thanks for the suggestion,
