    @class wxFTP

    wxFTP can be used to establish a connection to an FTP server and perform all the
    usual operations. Please consult the RFC 959 (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc959/)
    for more details about the FTP protocol.

    wxFTP can thus be used to create a (basic) FTP @b client.

    To use a command which doesn't involve file transfer (i.e. directory oriented
    commands) you just need to call a corresponding member function or use the
    generic wxFTP::SendCommand() method.
    However to actually transfer files you just get or give a stream to or from this
    class and the actual data are read or written using the usual stream methods.

    Example of using wxFTP for file downloading:

    @code
        wxFTP ftp;

        // if you don't use these lines anonymous login will be used
        ftp.SetUser("user");
        ftp.SetPassword("password");

        if ( !ftp.Connect("ftp.wxwidgets.org") )
        {
            wxLogError("Couldn't connect");
            return;
        }

        ftp.ChDir("/pub/2.8.9");
        const char *filename = "wxWidgets-2.8.9.tar.bz2";
        int size = ftp.GetFileSize(filename);
        if ( size == -1 )
        {
            wxLogError("Couldn't get the file size for \"%s\"", filename);
        }

        wxInputStream *in = ftp.GetInputStream(filename);
        if ( !in )
        {
            wxLogError("Couldn't get the file");
        }
        else
        {
            char *data = new char[size];
            if ( !in->Read(data, size) )
            {
                wxLogError("Read error: %d", ftp.GetError());
            }
            else
            {
                // file data is in the buffer
                ...
            }

            delete [] data;
            delete in;
        }

        // gracefully close the connection to the server
        ftp.Close();
    @endcode

    To upload a file you would do (assuming the connection to the server was opened
    successfully):

    @code
        wxOutputStream *out = ftp.GetOutputStream("filename");
        if ( out )
        {
            out->Write(...); // your data
            delete out;
        }
    @endcode
