I'm using 2.4.3 everywhere and will move to 2.5 as soon as it's  
released.

I'm not a big fan, personally, of crippling utility software like  
ftputil to remain compatible with older versions of tools since the  
people who are likely to be using it are also likely to be able to  
keep themselves in an up to date environment.
