ftp::geturl(n) — the ftp client era 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ftp::geturl — the Uri handler for ftp urls 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

package require Tcl 8.5 9

package require ftp::geturl ?0.2.3?

::ftp::geturl url

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this package hands you a command that wraps around the client side of the ftp protocol — and that protocol is provided by the package ftp — so you can actually retrieve urls that use the ftp schema. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

👑 API 👑

::ftp::geturl url

this command is the main character 💅 and the generic command ::uri::geturl (see package uri) can call on it to retrieve the contents of ftp urls. under the hood it's using the commands from the package ftp to make the request happen. teamwork, fr fr 🫶

and the contents of a ftp url are defined like this, bestie — pay attention, this is the good part:

• file — the contents of the specified file itself. just. the file. the whole file. as-is. 📄
• directory — a listing of the contents of the directory in key value notation, where the file name is the key and its attributes are the associated value. so cute, so structured. 🎀
• link — the attributes of the link, including the path it refers to. yes, it tells you where it points. iykyk 🔥
