Believe it or not, I've been to that page, checked out all the implementations,
and there isn't a single one that satisfies my requirements (open source,
multi-platform, interactive). Many of them are win32 GUI tools, and most don't
support ssl connect and auth ssl, which don't help me at all. I'm going to
mail him though, for suggestions.

Can you possibly do ls, etc. all through curl's interface, or am I out of luck
here?
