<h2 id="ftp">FTP</h2>
<p>
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used to transfer files
between hosts. The <tt>ftp</tt> namespace offers thorough support
to FTP, under a simple interface. The implementation conforms to
<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt">RFC 959</a>.
</p>
<p>
High level functions are provided supporting the most common operations.
These high level functions are implemented on top of a lower level
interface. Using the low-level interface, users can easily create their
own functions to access <em>any</em> operation supported by the FTP
protocol. For that, check the implementation.
</p>
<p>
To really benefit from this module, a good understanding of
<a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/FiltersSourcesAndSinks">
LTN012, Filters sources and sinks</a> is necessary.
</p>
<p>
To obtain the <tt>ftp</tt> namespace, run:
</p>
<pre class="example">
-- loads the FTP module and any libraries it requires
local ftp = require("socket.ftp")
</pre>
<p>
URLs MUST conform to
<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt">RFC 1738</a>,
that is, an URL is a string in the form:
</p>
<blockquote>
<tt>
[ftp://][<user>[:<password>]@]<host>[:<port>][/<path>][<i>type</i>=a|i]</tt>
</blockquote>
<p>
The following constants in the namespace can be set to control the default behavior of
the FTP module:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <tt>PASSWORD</tt>: default anonymous password.</li>
<li> <tt>TIMEOUT</tt>: sets the timeout for all I/O operations;</li>
<li> <tt>USER</tt>: default anonymous user;</li>
</ul>
<!-- ftp.get ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -->
<p class="name" id="get">
ftp.<b>get(</b>url<b>)</b><br>

<p class="description">
The <tt>get</tt> function has two forms. The simple form has fixed
functionality: it downloads the contents of a URL and returns it as a
string. The generic form allows a <em>lot</em> more control, as explained
below.
</p>
<p class="parameters">
If the argument of the <tt>get</tt> function is a table, the function
expects at least the fields <tt>host</tt>, <tt>sink</tt>, and one of
<tt>argument</tt> or <tt>path</tt> (<tt>argument</tt> takes
precedence). <tt>Host</tt> is the server to connect to. <tt>Sink</tt> is
the <em>simple</em>
<a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/FiltersSourcesAndSinks">LTN12</a>
sink that will receive the downloaded data. <tt>Argument</tt> or
<tt>path</tt> give the target path to the resource in the server. The
optional arguments are the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li><tt>user</tt>, <tt>password</tt>: User name and password used for
authentication. Defaults to "<tt>ftp:anonymous@anonymous.org</tt>";</li>
<li><tt>command</tt>: The FTP command used to obtain data. Defaults to
"<tt>retr</tt>", but see example below;</li>
<li><tt>port</tt>: The port to used for the control connection. Defaults to 21;</li>
<li><tt>type</tt>: The transfer mode. Can take values "<tt>i</tt>" or
"<tt>a</tt>". Defaults to whatever is the server default;</li>
<li><tt>step</tt>:
<a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/FiltersSourcesAndSinks">LTN12</a>
pump step function used to pass data from the
server to the sink. Defaults to the LTN12 <tt>pump.step</tt> function;</li>
<li><tt>create</tt>: An optional function to be used instead of
<a href="tcp.html#socket.tcp"><tt>socket.tcp</tt></a> when the communications socket is created.</li>
</ul>
<p class="return">
If successful, the simple version returns the URL contents as a
string, and the generic function returns 1. In case of error, both
functions return <b><tt>nil</tt></b> and an error message describing the
error.
</p>
<pre class="example">
-- load the ftp support
