Emerging from freshmeat.net

How do I emerge from freshmeat? I want to use the program on this page:

http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=%2Bft...361a2399cb8350

number 16, an ssl ftp program. Or does someone else know of a better ssl ftp program?

I tried downloading it, but all I get it the option tro run or view. I ran it but it didn't do anything. I don't think it compiles it.
Thanks alot!

wget ftp://ftp.uni-mainz.de/pub/software/...sl-0.2.diff.gz

All that did was download it. i already have it downloaded. What do I do now? How do I emerge it?

From what I can see here:

gentoo jaboua # emerge -pv ftp

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

You can add "ssl" to your USE-flags, and then simply emerge ftp. The SSL patch will then automaticly be applied.
