50
51              Types:
52
53                 KeyOrName = Key | Name
54                 Key = atom()
55                 Name = target_name()

71              Types:
72
73                 Connection = connection()

78
79       open(KeyOrName) -> {ok, Handle} | {error, Reason}
80
81              Types:
82
83                 KeyOrName = Key | Name
84                 Key = atom()
85                 Name = target_name()
86                 Handle = handle()
87
88              Opens an FTP connection to the specified node.
89
90              You can open a connection for a particular Name and use the same
91              name as reference for all following  subsequent  operations.  If
92              you want the connection to be associated with Handle instead (if
93              you, for example, need to open multiple connections to a  host),
94              use Key, the configuration variable name, to specify the target.
95              A connection without an  associated  target  name  can  only  be
96              closed with the handle value.
97
98              For information on how to create a new Name, see ct:require/2.
99
100              For target_name, see module ct.
101
102       put(KeyOrName, LocalFile, RemoteFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
103
104              Types:
105
106                 KeyOrName = Key | Name
107                 Key = atom()
108                 Name = target_name()
109                 LocalFile = string()
110                 RemoteFile = string()
111
112              Opens an FTP connection and sends a file to the remote host.
113
114              LocalFile and RemoteFile must be absolute paths.
115
116              For target_name, see module ct.
117
118              If  the target host is a "special" node, the FTP address must be
119              specified in the configuration file as follows:
120
121               {node,[{ftp,IpAddr}]}.
122
123              If the target host is something else, for example, a UNIX  host,
124              the  configuration file must also include the username and pass‐
125              word (both strings):
126
127               {unix,[{ftp,IpAddr},
128                      {username,Username},
129                      {password,Password}]}.

133       recv(Connection, RemoteFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
134
135              Fetches a file over FTP.
136
137              The file gets the same name on the local host.
