Nope it works ok but it's nothing more than hash in ftp..
it just prints out a dot for every n bytes...

I did try the bar command which works ok but it doens't work with
supplying a password interactively...

I tried contacting the developer of lukemftp since progress on NetBSD is
developed together with it's ftp command but misses in lukemftp. Even
the man page is referring to it.

The search continues...
