An FTP client for R

**not quite ready to use yet**

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files from a server to a client using the Client–server model on a computer network.

See the ftp info vignette for detailed FTP information.

## Installation

```{r eval=FALSE}

remotes::install_github("sckott/ftp")

```

```{r}

library('ftp')

```

## list files

```{r eval=FALSE}

ftp_list("ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ghcn/daily/")

ftp_list("ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ghcn/daily/by_year/")

ftp_list("ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/noaa/2014/")

# just list files

ftp_list("ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ghcn/daily/", just_list = TRUE)

```

## fetch files

```{r eval=FALSE}

url <- "ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ghcn/daily/by_year/1882.csv.gz"

file <- tempfile(fileext = ".csv.gz")

ftp_fetch(url, disk = file)

utils::read.delim(file, sep = ",", nrows = 10, header = FALSE)

unlink(file) # cleanup

```

## ftp client

Wraps an R6 method `FTPClient`

```{r}

(x <- ftp_client("ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ghcn/"))

```

adjust settings

```{r eval=FALSE}

x$ftp_port()

x$set_pasv()

```

pwd, working directory

```{r}

x$pwd()

```

list files

```{r}

x$list()

```

> note that parsing isn't working totally yet :)
