Hi,

Is there any client which can do all three ?? MultiGet does http and ftp but not sftp.
Kindly pour in suggestions.

thanks
Saurabh
PS: - It's cool even if the package is currently not in portage

thanks a lot for the options people, but I needed something that could do sftp also.

I don't know about curl, but wget can't do sftp.

thanks!
