NAME

       ct_ftp - FTP client module (based on the FTP support of the INETS application).

DESCRIPTION

       FTP client module (based on the FTP support of the INETS application).

DATA TYPES

         connection() = handle() | target_name() (see module ct):

         handle() = handle() (see module ct_gen_conn):

           Handle for a specific ftp connection.

EXPORTS

       cd(Connection, Dir) -> ok | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 Connection = connection()
                 Dir = string()

              Change directory on remote host.

       close(Connection) -> ok | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 Connection = connection()

              Close the FTP connection.

       delete(Connection, File) -> ok | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 Connection = connection()
                 File = string()

              Delete a file on remote host

       get(KeyOrName, RemoteFile, LocalFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 KeyOrName = Key | Name
                 Key = atom()
                 Name = target_name() (see module ct)
                 RemoteFile = string()
                 LocalFile = string()

              Open a ftp connection and fetch a file from the remote host.

              RemoteFile and LocalFile must be absolute paths.

              The config file must be as for put/3.

              See also: put/3, ct:require/2.

       ls(Connection, Dir) -> {ok, Listing} | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 Connection = connection()
                 Dir = string()
                 Listing = string()

              List the directory Dir.

       open(KeyOrName) -> {ok, Handle} | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 KeyOrName = Key | Name
                 Key = atom()
                 Name = target_name() (see module ct)
                 Handle = handle()

              Open an FTP connection to the specified node.

              You  can  open  one  connection  for  a particular Name and use the same name as reference for all
              subsequent operations. If you want the connection to be associated with Handle  instead  (in  case
              you  need  to  open multiple connections to a host for example), simply use Key, the configuration
              variable name, to specify the target. Note that a connection that has no  associated  target  name
              can only be closed with the handle value.

              See ct:require/2 for how to create a new Name

              See also: ct:require/2.

       put(KeyOrName, LocalFile, RemoteFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 KeyOrName = Key | Name
                 Key = atom()
                 Name = target_name() (see module ct)
                 LocalFile = string()
                 RemoteFile = string()

              Open a ftp connection and send a file to the remote host.

              LocalFile and RemoteFile must be absolute paths.

              If  the target host is a "special" node, the ftp address must be specified in the config file like
              this:

                 {node,[{ftp,IpAddr}]}.

              If the target host is something else, e.g. a unix host, the config  file  must  also  include  the
              username and password (both strings):

                 {unix,[{ftp,IpAddr},
                        {username,Username},
                        {password,Password}]}.

              See also: ct:require/2.

       recv(Connection, RemoteFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}

              Fetch a file over FTP.

              The file will get the same name on the local host.

              See also: recv/3.

       recv(Connection, RemoteFile, LocalFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 Connection = connection()
                 RemoteFile = string()
                 LocalFile = string()

              Fetch a file over FTP.

              The file will be named LocalFile on the local host.

       send(Connection, LocalFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}

              Send a file over FTP.

              The file will get the same name on the remote host.

              See also: send/3.

       send(Connection, LocalFile, RemoteFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 Connection = connection()
                 LocalFile = string()
                 RemoteFile = string()

              Send a file over FTP.

              The file will be named RemoteFile on the remote host.

       type(Connection, Type) -> ok | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 Connection = connection()
                 Type = ascii | binary

              Change file transfer type
