For some reason ncftp isn't installed with RHE. However, it's very easy to install manually:

CODE

wget ftp://ftp.ncftp.com/ncftp/ncftp-3.1.7-src.tar.gz

tar -xzf ncftp-3.1.7-src.tar.gz

cd ncftp-3.1.7

./configure

make

make install

cd ..

rm -Rf ncftp-3.1.7*

You missed out a dot:

tar -xzf ncftp-3.17-scr.tar.gz

should be:

tar -xzf ncftp-3.1.7-scr.tar.gz

Why is this error suddenly appearing though, and does this need to be installed? I'm receiving the same error.

That I don't know. However, I'm an ncftp fan, and so install it on all my servers anyway

It certainly wouldn't do any harm to install it to have a handy shell ftp client that can run in batch mode.
