DESCRIPTION

       This  package  provides  a  command  which  wraps  around the client side of the ftp protocol provided by
       package ftp to allow the retrieval of urls using the ftp schema.

API

       ::ftp::geturl url
              This command can be used by the generic command ::uri::geturl (See package uri)  to  retrieve  the
              contents of ftp urls. Internally it uses the commands of the package ftp to fulfill the request.

              The contents of a ftp url are defined as follows:

              file   The contents of the specified file itself.

              directory
                     A listing of the contents of the directory in key value notation where the file name is the
                     key and its attributes the associated value.

              link   The attributes of the link, including the path it refers to.
