Initially i thought this wasnt needed as it duplicates the functionality
of wget.

The same thing result could be achieved by #define out the http stuff from
wget.c and only have ftp left.

Looking into it further i think its better to have smaller descrete
commands (such as ftpget/ftpput) merged into more functional commands like
wget.

There is a lot of common code between your ftpget.c/ftpput.c/wget.c wget,
i reoganised your patch into one ftpgetput.c with functions that could
simply replace wget code.

I havent actually replaced any wget code with this patch, and -c is
broken, so its not finished yet.

It is using a copyfd_chunk.c which is in between copyfd and
copy_file_chunk, some functionality needs to be merged between those.

Its quite a bit smaller, the current patch is at
