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

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.
