Issues with SFTP

[Whitaker, Kenneth]

	I agree with you on prompt (default off) - but it has it uses.

	Thanks for your support.

Implement it and it will get in faster.  It is on the global list
of things to do.. (Like my readline patch <sigh>)  But has not
occured.

Better do it quick... I forsee a code freeze in the near future.

I hate prompt.  I hate it.. I hate it..I hate it.  <rant> Why the
hell would I want to be prompted for EVERY file in my mget when
I know what the <BLEEEEEEEEEP> I'm asksing for </rant>  =)  Sorry,
I've never been a fan of 'prompt'.  

Markus/Damien, if we consider adding prompt.  I really ask we
have it default 'off' since it is the most annoying thing in the world
to remember. =)
