## Installation
- run command: **pip install robotframework-ftplibrary**

OR
- download, unzip and run command: python setup.py install

## Usage

The simplest example (connect, change working dir, print working dir, close):
```
| ftp connect | 192.168.1.10 | mylogin | mypassword |
| cwd | /home/myname/tmp/testdir | | |
| pwd | | | |
| ftp close | | | |
```

It is possible to use multiple ftp connections in parallel. Connections are
identified by string identifiers:
```
| ftp connect | 192.168.1.10 | mylogin | mypassword | connId=ftp1 |
| ftp connect | 192.168.1.20 | mylogin2 | mypassword2 | connId=ftp2 |
| cwd | /home/myname/tmp/testdir | ftp1 | | |
| cwd | /home/myname/tmp/testdir | ftp2 | | |
| pwd | ftp2 | | | |
| pwd | ftp1 | | | |
| ftp close | ftp2 | | | |
| ftp close | ftp1 | | | |
```

During library import it is possible to disable logging of server messages.
By default logging is enabled:
```
| Library | FtpLibrary.py |
```
To disable logging of server messages, additional parameter must be added to import:
```
| Library | FtpLibrary.py | False |
```

## Running remotely

To run library remotely execute: *python FtpLibrary.py ipaddress portnumber*
(for example: *python FtpLibrary.py 192.168.0.101 8222*)
