Functions
Connection = connection()
Dir = string()
Changes directory on remote host.
Connection = connection()
Closes the FTP connection.
Connection = connection()
File = string()
Deletes a file on remote host.
KeyOrName = Key | Name
Key = atom()
Name = target_name()
RemoteFile = string()
LocalFile = string()
Opens an FTP connection and fetches a file from the remote host.
RemoteFile
and LocalFile
must be absolute paths.
The configuration file must be as for
ct_ftp:put/3
.

ct:require/2

Connection = connection()
Dir = string()
Listing = string()
Lists directory Dir
.
KeyOrName = Key | Name
Key = atom()
Name = target_name()
Handle = handle()
Opens an FTP connection to the specified node.
You can open a connection for a particular Name
and use the
same name as reference for all following subsequent operations.
If you want
the connection to be associated with Handle
instead (if you,
for example, need to open multiple connections to a host), use
Key
, the configuration variable name, to specify the target.
A connection without an associated target name can only be closed
with the handle value.
For information on how to create a new Name
, see
ct:require/2
.
For target_name
, see module
ct
.
KeyOrName = Key | Name
Key = atom()
Name = target_name()
LocalFile = string()
RemoteFile = string()
Opens an FTP connection and sends a file to the remote host.
LocalFile
and RemoteFile
must be absolute paths.
For target_name
, see module
ct
.
If the target host is a "special" node, the FTP address must be specified in the configuration file as follows:
{node,[{ftp,IpAddr}]}.
If the target host is something else, for example, a UNIX host, the configuration file must also include the username and password (both strings):
{unix,[{ftp,IpAddr}, {username,Username}, {password,Password}]}.
