@title[#:tag "ftp"]{FTP: Client Downloading}
@defmodule[net/ftp]{The @schememodname[net/ftp] library provides
utilities for FTP client operations.
The library was written by Micah Flatt.}
@section[#:tag "ftp-procs"]{Functions}
@defproc[(ftp-connection? [v any/c]) boolean?]{
Returns @scheme[#t] if @scheme[v] represents an FTP connection as
returned by @scheme[ftp-establish-connection], @scheme[#f] otherwise.}
@defproc[(ftp-establish-connection [server string?]
[port-no (integer-in 0 65535)]
[user string?]
[passwd string?])
ftp-connection?]{
Establishes an FTP connection with the given server using the
supplied username and password.
The username and password strings are encoded to bytes using the
current locale's encoding.}
@defproc[(ftp-close-connection [ftp-conn ftp-connection?]) void?]{
Closes an FTP connection.}
@defproc[(ftp-cd [ftp-conn ftp-connection?][new-dir string?]) void?]{
Changes the current directory on the FTP server to @scheme[new-dir].
The @scheme[new-dir] argument is not interpreted at all, but simply
passed on to the server (encoded using the current locale's
encoding); it must not contain a newline.}
@defproc[(ftp-directory-list [ftp-conn ftp-connection?])
(listof (list/c (one-of/c "-" "d" "l")
string?
string?))]{
Returns a list of files and directories in the current directory of
the server, assuming that the server provides directory information in
the quasi-standard Unix format.
Each file or directory is represented by a list of three strings. The
first string is either @scheme["-"], @scheme["d"], or @scheme["l"],
depending on whether the items is a file, directory, or link,
respectively. The second item is the file's date; to convert this
value to seconds consistent with @scheme[file-seconds], pass the date
string to @scheme[ftp-make-file-seconds], below. The third string is
the name of the file or directory.
All strings are decoded from bytes using the current locale's
encoding.}
@defproc[(ftp-make-file-seconds [ftp-date string?]) exact-integer?]{
Takes a date string produced by @scheme[ftp-directory-list] and
converts it to seconds (which can be used with
@scheme[seconds->date]).}
@defproc[(ftp-download-file [ftp-conn ftp-connection?]
[local-dir path-string?]
[file string?]) void?]{
Downloads @scheme[file] from the server's current directory and puts
it in @scheme[local-dir] using the same name. If the file already
exists in the local directory, it is replaced, but only after the
transfer succeeds (i.e., the file is first downloaded to a temporary
file, then moved into place on success).}

@section{FTP Unit}
@defmodule[net/ftp-unit]
@defthing[ftp@ unit?]{
Imports nothing, exports @scheme[ftp^].}

@section{FTP Signature}
@defmodule[net/ftp-sig]
@defsignature[ftp^ ()]{}
Includes everything exported by the @schememodname[net/ftp] module.
