+Show the last modification time of the file on the remote machine.

+Expand wild cards in the list of local files given as arguments
+and do a

+for details of filename expansion.

+Get the file only if the modification time of the remote file is more

+.Op Ar remote-directory
+.Op Ar local-file

+Print a list of the files in a

+If
+.Ar remote-directory
+is left unspecified, the current working directory is used.
+If interactive prompting is on,
+.Nm ftp
+will prompt the user to verify that the last argument is indeed the
+target local file for receiving
+.Ic nlist
+output.
+If no local file is specified, or if
+.Ar local-file
+is
+.Fl ,
+the output is sent to the terminal.
+.It Ic nmap Op Ar inpattern outpattern
+Set or unset the filename mapping mechanism.
+If no arguments are specified, the filename mapping mechanism is unset.
+If arguments are specified, remote filenames are mapped during
+.Ic mput
+commands and
+.Ic put
+commands issued without a specified remote target filename.
+If arguments are specified, local filenames are mapped during
+.Ic mget
+commands and
+.Ic get
+commands issued without a specified local target filename.
+This command is useful when connecting to a
+.No non\- Ns Ux
+remote computer
+with different file naming conventions or practices.
+The mapping follows the pattern set by
+.Ar inpattern
+and
+.Ar outpattern .
+.Op Ar Inpattern
+is a template for incoming filenames (which may have already been
+processed according to the
+.Ic ntrans
+and
+.Ic case
+settings).
+Variable templating is accomplished by including the
+sequences `$1', `$2', ..., `$9' in
+.Ar inpattern .
+Use `\\' to prevent this special treatment of the `$' character.
+All other characters are treated literally, and are used to determine the
+.Ic nmap
+.Op Ar inpattern
+variable values.
+For example, given
+.Ar inpattern
+$1.$2 and the remote file name "mydata.data", $1 would have the value
+"mydata", and $2 would have the value "data".
+The
+.Ar outpattern
+determines the resulting mapped filename.
+The sequences `$1', `$2', ...., `$9' are replaced by any value resulting
+from the
+.Ar inpattern
+template.
+The sequence `$0' is replace by the original filename.
+Additionally, the sequence
+.Ql Op Ar seq1 , Ar seq2
+is replaced by
+.Op Ar seq1
+if
+.Ar seq1
+is not a null string; otherwise it is replaced by
+.Ar seq2 .
+For example, the command
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+nmap $1.$2.$3 [$1,$2].[$2,file]
+.Ed
+.Pp
+would yield
+the output filename "myfile.data" for input filenames "myfile.data" and
+"myfile.data.old", "myfile.file" for the input filename "myfile", and
+"myfile.myfile" for the input filename ".myfile".
+Spaces may be included in
+.Ar outpattern ,
+as in the example: `nmap $1 sed "s/ *$//" > $1' .
+Use the `\e' character to prevent special treatment
+of the `$','[','[', and `,' characters.
+.It Ic ntrans Op Ar inchars Op Ar outchars
+Set or unset the filename character translation mechanism.
+If no arguments are specified, the filename character
+translation mechanism is unset.
+If arguments are specified, characters in
+remote filenames are translated during
+.Ic mput
+commands and
+.Ic put
+commands issued without a specified remote target filename.
+If arguments are specified, characters in
+local filenames are translated during
+.Ic mget
+commands and
+.Ic get
+commands issued without a specified local target filename.
+This command is useful when connecting to a
+.No non\- Ns Ux
+remote computer
+with different file naming conventions or practices.
+Characters in a filename matching a character in
+.Ar inchars
+are replaced with the corresponding character in
+.Ar outchars .
+If the character's position in
+.Ar inchars
+is longer than the length of
+.Ar outchars ,
+the character is deleted from the file name.
