47       get(KeyOrName, RemoteFile, LocalFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
48
49              Types:
50
51                 KeyOrName = Key | Name
52                 Key = atom()
53                 Name = target_name()
54                 RemoteFile = string()
55                 LocalFile = string()
56
57              Opens an FTP connection and fetches a file from the remote host.
58
59              RemoteFile and LocalFile must be absolute paths.

68
69              Types:
70
71                 Connection = connection()
72                 Dir = string()

76
77       open(KeyOrName) -> {ok, Handle} | {error, Reason}
78
79              Types:
80
81                 KeyOrName = Key | Name
82                 Key = atom()
83                 Name = target_name()
84                 Handle = handle()
85
86              Opens an FTP connection to the specified node.
87
88              You can open a connection for a particular Name and use the same
89              name as reference for all following  subsequent  operations.  If
90              you want the connection to be associated with Handle instead (if
91              you, for example, need to open multiple connections to a  host),
92              use Key, the configuration variable name, to specify the target.
93              A connection without an  associated  target  name  can  only  be
94              closed with the handle value.
95
96              For information on how to create a new Name, see ct:require/2.
97
98              For target_name, see module ct.
99
100       put(KeyOrName, LocalFile, RemoteFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
101
102              Types:
103
104                 KeyOrName = Key | Name
105                 Key = atom()
106                 Name = target_name()
107                 LocalFile = string()
108                 RemoteFile = string()
109
110              Opens an FTP connection and sends a file to the remote host.
111
112              LocalFile and RemoteFile must be absolute paths.
113
114              For target_name, see module ct.
115
116              If  the target host is a "special" node, the FTP address must be
117              specified in the configuration file as follows:
118
119               {node,[{ftp,IpAddr}]}.
120
121              If the target host is something else, for example, a UNIX  host,
122              the  configuration file must also include the username and pass‐
123              word (both strings):
124
125               {unix,[{ftp,IpAddr},
126                      {username,Username},
127                      {password,Password}]}.

131       recv(Connection, RemoteFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
132
133              Fetches a file over FTP.
134
135              The file gets the same name on the local host.
