If it is successful, a standard stream descriptor is returned which should be passed to subsequent FTP operations. On failure, NULL is returned and .Fa retcode will have the error code returned by the foreign server. .Pp .Fn ftpChdir attempts to issue a server CD command to the directory named in .Fa dir . On success, zero is returned. On failure, the error code from the server. .Pp .Fn ftpErrno returns the server failure code for the last operation (useful for seeing more about what happened if you're familiar with FTP error codes). .Fn ftpErrString returns a human readable version of the supplied server failure code. .Pp .Fn ftpGet attempts to retreive the file named by the .Fa file argument (which is assumed to be relative to the FTP server's current directory, see .Fn ftpChdir ) and returns a new FILE* pointer for the file or NULL on failure. If .Fa seekto is non-NULL, the contents of the integer it points to will be used as a restart point for the file, that is to say that the stream returned will point .Fa *seekto bytes into the file gotten (this is handy for restarting failed transfers efficiently). If the seek operation fails, the value of .Fa *seekto will be zero'd. .Pp .Fn ftpGetModtime returns the last modification time of the file named by the .Fa file argument. If the file could not be opened or stat'd, 0 is returned. .Pp .Fn ftpGetSize returns the size in bytes of the file named by the .Fa file argument. If the file could not be opened or stat'd, -1 is returned. .Pp .Fn ftpPut attempts to create a new file named by the .Fa file argument (which is assumed to be relative to the FTP server's current directory, see .Fn ftpChdir ) and returns a new .Fa stream pointer for the file or NULL on failure. .Pp .Fn ftpAscii sets ASCII mode for the current server connection named by .Fa stream . .Pp .Fn ftpBinary sets binary mode for the current server connection named by .Fa stream . .Pp .Fn ftpPassive sets passive mode (for firewalls) for the current server connection named by .Fa stream to boolean value .Fa status . .Pp .Fn ftpVerbose sets the verbosity mode for the current server connection named by .Fa stream to boolean value .Fa status . .Pp .Fn ftpGetURL attempts to retreive the file named by the supplied .Fa URL and can be considered equivalent to the combined .Fn ftpLogin , .Fn ftpChdir and .Fn ftpGet operations except that no server .Fa stream is ever returned - the connection to the server closes when the file has been completely read. Use the lower-level routines if multiple gets are required as it will be far more efficient. .Pp .Fn ftpPutURL attempts to create the file named by the supplied .Fa URL and can be considered equivalent to the combined .Fn ftpLogin , .Fn ftpChdir and .Fn ftpPut operations except that no server stream is ever returned - the connection to the server closes when the file has been completely written. Use the lower-level routines if multiple puts are required as it will be far more efficient. .Pp .Fn ftpLoginAf , .Fn ftpGetURLAf , .Fn ftpPutURLAf are same as .Fn ftpLogin , .Fn ftpGetURL , .Fn ftpPutURL except that they are able to specify address family .Fa af . .Sh ENVIRONMENT .Bl -tag -width FTP_PASSIVE_MODE -offset 3n .It Ev FTP_TIMEOUT Maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a response from the peer before aborting an .Tn FTP connection. .It Ev FTP_PASSIVE_MODE If defined, forces the use of passive mode, unless equal to ``NO'' or ``no'' in which case active mode is forced. If defined, the setting of this variable always overrides any calls to .Fn ftpPassive . .El .Sh BUGS I'm sure you can get this thing's internal state machine confused if you really work at it, but so far it's proven itself pretty robust in all my tests. .Sh HISTORY Started life as Poul-Henning Kamp's ftp driver for the system installation utility, later significantly mutated into a more general form as an extension of stdio by Jordan Hubbard. Also incorporates some ideas and extensions from Jean-Marc Zucconi. .Sh AUTHORS .An Jordan Hubbard , .An Poul-Henning Kamp and .An Jean-Marc Zucconi
