Re: [bug wput] dirty bug with wput 0.5 :(

[Hagen Fritsch <hagen@itooktheredpill.dyndns.org>]

Hello,
i'm very sorry that you lost these data and i think i'll add an appropriate 
warning message for such cases, but USAGE.urlhandling states:
  ftp://host/directory  wput/           don't do this! won't work

Well, but a warning message should be possible.
Regards,
Hagen
