DESCRIPTION
       This  package  provides a command which wraps around the client side of
       the ftp protocol provided by package ftp to allow the retrieval of urls
       using the ftp schema.

API
       ::ftp::geturl url
              This  command  can  be used by the generic command ::uri::geturl
              (See package uri) to retrieve the contents of ftp  urls.  Inter-
              nally  it  uses  the  commands of the package ftp to fulfill the
              request.

              The contents of a ftp url are defined as follows:

              file   The contents of the specified file itself.

              directory
                     A listing of the contents of the directory in  key  value
                     notation   where  the  file  name  is  the  key  and  its
                     attributes the associated value.

              link   The attributes of the link, including the path it  refers
                     to.
