FTP

$inet->FTP($ftpobject, server, username, pwd, [port, pasv, context])

$inet->FTP($ftpobject, $hashref)

• 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:
  • server
  • The server to connect to.
  • username
  • The username used to log in to the server. Default is anonymous.
  • pwd
  • The password used to log in to the server. Default is none.
  • port
  • The port of the FTP service on the server. Default is 21.
  • pasv
  • 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.
  • context
  • 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:

    %hash=( "server" => "server", "username" => "username", "password" => "password", "port" => port, "pasv" => pasv, "context" => context, );
    

    
    
    The 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.
