Subject: ftpconversions?

I'm having trouble with getting on-the-fly tar and gzip for "get"s from
my ftp server.  But, the "dir" client command works, i.e. the "ls" executable
in ~ftp/bin is being taken.

With tar, gzip, and zip, all I get is an empty file.  The docs with the
distrib seems to be sketchy.  Is there an FAQ available?
