I can't find anybody maintaining a current NetKit like NetKit-0.09 (2 years old). There is a bug in ftp that I can demonstrate. It can be easily fixed, but I don't know who maintains this stuff now.

The software presumes that no files will ever get corrupted. The bug causes problems that destroy unrelated data so `gdb` was not very helpful in discovering the cause.
