 25 Zftp Function System
 ***********************
 
 25.1 Description
 ================
 
 This describes the set of shell functions supplied with the source
 distribution as an interface to the zftp builtin command, allowing you
 to perform FTP operations from the shell command line or within
 functions or scripts.  The interface is similar to a traditional FTP
 client (e.g.  the ftp command itself, see man page ftp(1)), but as it is
 entirely done within the shell all the familiar completion, editing and
 globbing features, and so on, are present, and macros are particularly
 simple to write as they are just ordinary shell functions.
 
 The prerequisite is that the zftp command, as described in  The
 zsh/zftp Module , must be available in the version of zsh installed at
 your site.  If the shell is configured to load new commands at run time,
 it probably is: typing 'zmodload zsh/zftp' will make sure (if that runs
 silently, it has worked).  If this is not the case, it is possible zftp
 was linked into the shell anyway: to test this, type 'which zftp' and if
 zftp is available you will get the message 'zftp: shell built-in
 command'.
 
 Commands given directly with zftp builtin may be interspersed between
 the functions in this suite; in a few cases, using zftp directly may
 cause some of the status information stored in shell parameters to
 become invalid.  Note in particular the description of the variables
 $ZFTP_TMOUT, $ZFTP_PREFS and $ZFTP_VERBOSE for zftp.
