The old distfile, with the checksums listed in the port, can be downloaded here for comparison:

http://ftp.ist.utl.pt/pub/ftp/ftp/clients/Unix/ncftp/

Compared to that version, the ChangeLog in the new version has this added entry:


3.2.4.1, 2010-05-16

   + Fixed a bug in Ncftpget/put/ls which could ignore the username (-u)
     and password (-p) command line parameters.


So really this appears to be version 3.2.4.1 now. Why they didn't name the file that I don't know.
