Opens an FTP connection to server , logging in with the given username and password. The new connection object is saved to ftpobject . The parameters and their values are:
The server to connect to.
The username used to log in to the server. Default is
anonymous
.
The password used to log in to the server. Default is none.
The port of the FTP service on the server. Default is 21.
If it is a value other than 0, use passive transfer mode. Otherwise, it is taken from the parent Internet connection object; you can set this value with the
Pasv
method.
A number to identify this operation if it is asynchronous. See
SetStatusCallback
and
GetStatusCallback
for more info on asynchronous operations.
If you pass a hash reference, the following values are taken from the hash:
The%hash=( "server" => "server", "username" => "username", "password" => "password", "port" => port, "pasv" => pasv, "context" => context, );
FTP
method returns
undef
if the connection failed, a number otherwise. You can then call any of the FTP functions as methods of the newly-created FTP object.
