NCFTP install problems

[Steve Suhre]

I tried the ports first and it couldn't find the files it needed and gave 
up. I usually install from ports, but it wasn't working so I went and 
grabbed it myself. The Downloads folder is just a place to keep installed 
apps. I've done several others from there, and I was running as root when I 
attempted the install.

I had tried make and make install, they both gagged with a 127.

I'll try moving it to the ports/ftp folder and try it from there, although 
a valid path should be a valid path....
