Connecting to an FTP

Can someone give me a quick example of connecting to an FTP (username and password required) ?

I hope you mean "through perl" There's a module called Net::FTP. Once you get it installed (dont know if it's available for win32), do 'perldoc Net::FTP'

From perldoc Net::FTP:

USAGE:
use Net::FTP;

$ftp = Net::FTP->new("some.host.name");
$ftp->login("anonymous","me@here.there");
$ftp->cwd("/pub");
$ftp->get("that.file");
$ftp->quit;

hope this helps.
