Hi
I am currently developing some file transfer utilities to run on unix
and NT. These will use FTP over TCP/IP to move the files across systems.
The question:
what are the methods available for invoking FTP?
For instance I can wrap my (C) program around a bunch of system calls
and redirect stdin and stdout (messy?). I can write my own
impleemntation of RFC 959. I can write my own sockets program
(connect(), listen(), etc). But I get the feeling that this is missing
the point. Is there a hook into the system that allows me to do
something like :

#include <?.h>

main()
{
    char Buffer[];

    ftp(open, "100.101.102.103");
    ftp(login, "John");
    ftp(ls, Buffer);
    ...
    ...
    ...

Any pointers gratefully accepted
