+-- downloading a file (upload is same, but use put)
+-- you don't have to cd manually
+-- file up/down transfer is binary in livecode (always enforced by livecode)

+You can execute any ftp command using the libURLftpCommand command
+e.g. to know the working directory, issue "pwd", we could issue "list" for above too,
+but using an url with slash on the end with the ftp protocol causes a dir listing by default.
+put libURLftpCommand("PWD",ftp.example.org)
