int	xmlNanoFTPCloseConnection	(void * ctx)

Close the data connection from the server

ctx:an FTP context
Returns:-1 incase of error, 0 otherwise

Function: xmlNanoFTPConnect

int	xmlNanoFTPConnect		(void * ctx)

Tries to open a control connection

ctx:an FTP context
Returns:-1 in case of error, 0 otherwise

Function: xmlNanoFTPConnectTo

void *	xmlNanoFTPConnectTo		(const char * server, 
int port)

Tries to open a control connection to the given server/port

server:an FTP server name
port:the port (use 21 if 0)
Returns:an fTP context or NULL if it failed

Function: xmlNanoFTPCwd

int	xmlNanoFTPCwd			(void * ctx, 
const char * directory)

Tries to change the remote directory

ctx:an FTP context
directory:a directory on the server
Returns:-1 incase of error, 1 if CWD worked, 0 if it failed

const char * file)

Tries to delete an item (file or directory) from server

ctx:an FTP context
file:a file or directory on the server
Returns:-1 incase of error, 1 if DELE worked, 0 if it failed

Function: xmlNanoFTPFreeCtxt

void	xmlNanoFTPFreeCtxt		(void * ctx)

Frees the context after closing the connection.

ctx:an FTP context

Function: xmlNanoFTPGet

int	xmlNanoFTPGet			(void * ctx, 
ftpDataCallback callback,
void * userData,
const char * filename)

Fetch the given file from the server. All data are passed back in the callbacks. The last callback has a size of 0 block.

ctx:an FTP context
callback:the user callback
userData:the user callback data
filename:the file to retrieve
Returns:-1 incase of error, 0 otherwise

Function: xmlNanoFTPGetConnection

SOCKET	xmlNanoFTPGetConnection		(void * ctx)

Try to open a data connection to the server. Currently only passive mode is supported.

ctx:an FTP context
Returns:-1 incase of error, 0 otherwise

Function: xmlNanoFTPGetResponse

int	xmlNanoFTPGetResponse		(void * ctx)

Get the response from the FTP server after a command.

ctx:an FTP context
Returns:the code number

Function: xmlNanoFTPGetSocket

SOCKET	xmlNanoFTPGetSocket		(void * ctx, 
const char * filename)

Initiate fetch of the given file from the server.

ctx:an FTP context
filename:the file to retrieve (or NULL if path is in context).
Returns:the socket for the data connection, or <0 in case of error

Function: xmlNanoFTPInit

void	xmlNanoFTPInit			(void)

Initialize the FTP protocol layer. Currently it just checks for proxy informations, and get the hostname

Function: xmlNanoFTPList

int	xmlNanoFTPList			(void * ctx, 
ftpListCallback callback,
void * userData,
const char * filename)

Do a listing on the server. All files info are passed back in the callbacks.

ctx:an FTP context
callback:the user callback
userData:the user callback data
filename:optional files to list

Function: xmlNanoFTPScanProxy

void	xmlNanoFTPScanProxy		(const char * URL)

(Re)Initialize the FTP Proxy context by parsing the URL and finding the protocol host port it indicates. Should be like ftp://myproxy/ or ftp://myproxy:3128/ A NULL URL cleans up proxy informations.

URL:The proxy URL used to initialize the proxy context

Function: xmlNanoFTPUpdateURL

int	xmlNanoFTPUpdateURL		(void * ctx, 
const char * URL)
