"""An FTP client class and some helper functions.

Based on RFC 959: File Transfer Protocol (FTP), by J. Postel and J. Reynolds

Example:

>>> from ftplib import FTP
>>> ftp = FTP('ftp.python.org') # connect to host, default port
>>> ftp.login() # default, i.e.: user anonymous, passwd user@hostname
'230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.'
>>> ftp.retrlines('LIST') # list directory contents

A nice test that reveals some of the network dialogue would be:

    '''An FTP client class.

    To create a connection, call the class using these argument:
            host, user, passwd, acct
    These are all strings, and have default value ''.
    Then use self.connect() with optional host and port argument.

    To download a file, use ftp.retrlines('RETR ' + filename),
    or ftp.retrbinary() with slightly different arguments.
    To upload a file, use ftp.storlines() or ftp.storbinary(),
    which have an open file as argument (see their definitions
    below for details).
    The download/upload functions first issue appropriate TYPE
    and PORT or PASV commands.
