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.
              Internally 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.
