 DESCRIPTION-

        OS/2 v4.0 has a new template representing a FTP site.  This is
        called FTP FOLDER.  However, this excellent feature needs some
        improvements, as follows:

        1.  Better Progress Indication Dialog:  When getting files from
            the remote host, the standard OS/2 copy/move progress
            indication dialog is displayed.  While this dialog is
            excellent for small and quick transfers, one can never tell
            the state of a current going-on long file transfer.  A
            percentage indication bar would be desirable.  This can
            become the standard OS/2 progress indication dialog.

        2.  Recursive GET:  A simple way to do a recursive get should be
            provided.  One should be able to mark a directory or even an
            entire FTP FOLDER object (as it represents a specific
            default directory) and get it's contents and the content of
            any directory below it.

        ATTRIBUTES:

        LOW Value
        Desired ASAP
