int	xmlNanoFTPCwd			(void * ctx, 
					 const char * directory)

+

Tries to change the remote directory

`ctx`:	an FTP context
`directory`:	a directory on the server
`Returns`:	-1 incase of error, 1 if CWD worked, 0 if it failed

xmlNanoFTPDele ()

int	xmlNanoFTPDele			(void * ctx, 
					 const char * file)

+

Tries to delete an item (file or directory) from server

`ctx`:	an FTP context
`file`:	a file or directory on the server
`Returns`:	-1 incase of error, 1 if DELE worked, 0 if it failed

xmlNanoFTPFreeCtxt ()

void	xmlNanoFTPFreeCtxt		(void * ctx)

+

Frees the context after closing the connection.

ctx: an FTP context

xmlNanoFTPGet ()

int	xmlNanoFTPGet			(void * ctx, 
					 ftpDataCallback callback, 
					 void * userData, 
					 const char * filename)

+

Fetch the given file from the server. All data are passed back in the callbacks. The last callback has a size of 0 block.

`ctx`:	an FTP context
`callback`:	the user callback
`userData`:	the user callback data
`filename`:	the file to retrieve
`Returns`:	-1 incase of error, 0 otherwise

xmlNanoFTPGetConnection ()

SOCKET	xmlNanoFTPGetConnection		(void * ctx)

+

Try to open a data connection to the server. Currently only passive mode is supported.

`ctx`:	an FTP context
`Returns`:	-1 incase of error, 0 otherwise

xmlNanoFTPGetResponse ()

SOCKET	xmlNanoFTPGetSocket		(void * ctx, 
					 const char * filename)

+

Initiate fetch of the given file from the server.

`ctx`:	an FTP context
`filename`:	the file to retrieve (or NULL if path is in context).
`Returns`:	the socket for the data connection, or <0 in case of error

xmlNanoFTPInit ()

void	xmlNanoFTPInit			(void)

+

Initialize the FTP protocol layer. Currently it just checks for proxy informations, and get the hostname

xmlNanoFTPList ()
