netrw is a simple (but powerful) tool for transporting data over the internet. netrw's main purpose is to simplify and speed up file transfers to hosts without an FTP server.

It can also be used for uploading data to some other user. It is something like one-way netcat (nc) with some nice features concerning data transfers.

Netrw can compute and check message digest (MD5, SHA-1, and some others) of all the data being transferred, it can also print information on progress and average speed. At the end it sums up the transfer.

What's New in This Release:
A SIGSEGV which occurred when the control connection is closed during initialization was fixed.
