- <modulesummary>A File Transfer Protocol client.</modulesummary>
-
- <description>
-
- <p>This module implements a client for file transfer
- according to a subset of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), see
- <url href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt">RFC 959</url>.</p>
-
- <p>As from <c>Inets</c> 4.4.1, the FTP
- client always tries to use passive FTP mode and only resort
- to active FTP mode if this fails. This default behavior can be
- changed by start option <seealso marker="#mode">mode</seealso>.</p>
-
- <marker id="two_start"></marker>
-
- <p>An FTP client can be started in two ways. One is using the
- <seealso marker="#service_start">Inets service framework</seealso>,
- the other is to start it directly as a standalone process
- using function <seealso marker="#open">open</seealso>.</p>
-
- <p>For a simple example of an FTP session, see
- <seealso marker="ftp_client">Inets User's Guide</seealso>.</p>
-
- <p>In addition to the ordinary functions for receiving and sending
- files (see <c>recv/2</c>, <c>recv/3</c>, <c>send/2</c>, and
- <c>send/3</c>) there are functions for receiving remote files as
- binaries (see <c>recv_bin/2</c>) and for sending binaries to be
- stored as remote files (see <c>send_bin/3</c>).</p>
-
- <p>A set of functions is provvided for sending and receiving
- contiguous parts of a file to be stored in a remote file. For send,
- see <c>send_chunk_start/2</c>, <c>send_chunk/2</c>, and
- <c>send_chunk_end/1</c>. For receive, see
- <c>recv_chunk_start/2</c> and <c>recv_chunk/</c>).</p>
-
- <p>The return values of the following functions depend
- much on the implementation of the FTP server at the remote
- host. In particular, the results from <c>ls</c> and <c>nlist</c>
- varies. Often real errors are not reported as errors by <c>ls</c>,
- even if, for example, a file or directory does not
- exist. <c>nlist</c> is usually more strict, but some
- implementations have the peculiar behaviour of responding with an
- error if the request is a listing of the contents of a directory
- that exists but is empty.</p>

- <title>FTP CLIENT SERVICE START/STOP</title>
-
- <p>The FTP client can be started and stopped dynamically in runtime by
- calling the <c>Inets</c> application API
- <c>inets:start(ftpc, ServiceConfig)</c>,
- or <c>inets:start(ftpc, ServiceConfig, How)</c>, and
- <c>inets:stop(ftpc, Pid)</c>.
- For details, see <seealso marker="inets">inets(3)</seealso>.</p>
-
- <p>The available configuration options are as follows:</p>
-

- <p>IpFamily = <c>inet | inet6 | inet6fb4</c> </p>
- <p>With <c>inet6fb4</c> the client behaves as before, that is,
- tries to use IPv6, and only if that does not work it
- uses IPv4).</p>
- <p>Default is <c>inet</c> (IPv4).</p>
- </item>
-

- <item>
- <marker id="timeout"></marker>

- <p><c>InitProgress = term()</c></p>
- <p>Default is <c>ignore</c>.</p>
- </item>
-
- </taglist>
-
- <p>Option <c>progress</c> is intended to be used by applications that
- want to create some type of progress report, such as a progress bar in
- a GUI. Default for the progress option is <c>ignore</c>,
- that is, the option is not used. When the progress option is
- specified, the following happens when <c>ftp:send/[3,4]</c> or
- <c>ftp:recv/[3,4]</c> are called:</p>
-
- <list type="bulleted">
- <item>
- <p>Before a file is transferred, the following call is
- made to indicate the start of the file transfer and how large
- the file is. The return value of the callback function
- is to be a new value for the <c>UserProgressTerm</c> that will
- be used as input the next time the callback function is
- called.</p>
- <p><c>
- CBModule:CBFunction(InitProgress, File, {file_size, FileSize})
- </c></p>
- </item>
-
- <item>
- <p>Every time a chunk of bytes is transferred the
- following call is made:</p>
- <p><c>
- CBModule:CBFunction(UserProgressTerm, File, {transfer_size, TransferSize})
- </c></p>
- </item>
-
- <item>
- <p>At the end of the file the following call is
- made to indicate the end of the transfer:</p>
- <p><c>
- CBModule:CBFunction(UserProgressTerm, File, {transfer_size, 0})
- </c></p>
- </item>
- </list>
-
- <p>The callback function is to be defined as follows:</p>
-
- <p><c>
- CBModule:CBFunction(UserProgressTerm, File, Size) -> UserProgressTerm
- </c></p>
-
- <p><c>
- CBModule = CBFunction = atom()

-
- <p><c>
- UserProgressTerm = term()

-
- <p><c>
- File = string()
- </c></p>
-
- <p><c>
- Size = {transfer_size, integer()} | {file_size, integer()} | {file_size, unknown}
- </c></p>
-
- <p>For remote files, <c>ftp</c> cannot determine the
- file size in a platform independent way. In this case the size
- becomes <c>unknown</c> and it is left to the application to
- determine the size.</p>
-
- <note>
- <p>The callback is made by a middleman process, hence the
- file transfer is not affected by the code in the progress
- callback function. If the callback crashes, this is
- detected by the FTP connection process, which then prints an
- info-report and goes on as if the progress option was set
- to <c>ignore</c>.</p>
- </note>
-
- <p>The file transfer type is set to the default of the FTP server
- when the session is opened. This is usually ASCCI mode.
- </p>
-
- <p>The current local working directory (compare <c>lpwd/1</c>) is set
- to the value reported by <c>file:get_cwd/1</c>, the wanted
- local directory.
- </p>
-
- <p>The return value <c>Pid</c> is used as a reference to the
- newly created FTP client in all other functions, and they are to
- be called by the process that created the connection. The FTP
- client process monitors the process that created it and
- terminates if that process terminates.</p>

- <title>Getting Started</title>
-
- <p>FTP clients are considered to be rather temporary. Thus,
- they are only started and stopped during runtime and cannot
- be started at application startup.
- The FTP client API is designed to allow some functions to
- return intermediate results. This implies that only the process
- that started the FTP client can access it with
- preserved sane semantics.
- If the process that started the FTP session
- dies, the FTP client process terminates.</p>
-
- <p>The client supports IPv6 as long as the underlying mechanisms
- also do so.</p>
-
- <p>The following is a simple example of an FTP session, where
- the user <c>guest</c> with password <c>password</c> logs on to
- the remote host <c>erlang.org</c>:</p>
- <code type="erl"><![CDATA[
- 1> inets:start().
- ok
- 2> {ok, Pid} = inets:start(ftpc, [{host, "erlang.org"}]).
- {ok,<0.22.0>}
- 3> ftp:user(Pid, "guest", "password").
- ok
- 4> ftp:pwd(Pid).
- {ok, "/home/guest"}
- 5> ftp:cd(Pid, "appl/examples").
- ok
- 6> ftp:lpwd(Pid).
- {ok, "/home/fred"}.
- 7> ftp:lcd(Pid, "/home/eproj/examples").
- ok
- 8> ftp:recv(Pid, "appl.erl").
- ok
- 9> inets:stop(ftpc, Pid).
- ok
- ]]></code>
- <p> The file
- <c>appl.erl</c> is transferred from the remote to the local
- host. When the session is opened, the current directory at
- the remote host is <c>/home/guest</c>, and <c>/home/fred</c>
- at the local host. Before transferring the file, the current
- local directory is changed to <c>/home/eproj/examples</c>, and
- the remote directory is set to
- <c>/home/guest/appl/examples</c>.</p>

- <p>This is a complete implementation of the following IETF standards:</p>
- <list type="bulleted">
- <item>RFC 1350, The TFTP Protocol (revision 2)</item>
- <item>RFC 2347, TFTP Option Extension</item>
- <item>RFC 2348, TFTP Blocksize Option</item>
- <item>RFC 2349, TFTP Timeout Interval and Transfer Size Options</item>
- </list>
- <p>The only feature that not is implemented is
- the "netascii" transfer mode.</p>
- <p>The <seealso marker="#start/1">start/1</seealso> function starts
- a daemon process listening for UDP packets on a port. When it
- receives a request for read or write, it spawns a temporary server
- process handling the transfer.</p>
- <p>On the client side,
- function <seealso marker="#read_file/3">read_file/3</seealso>
- and <seealso marker="#write_file/3">write_file/3</seealso>
- spawn a temporary client process establishing
- contact with a TFTP daemon and perform the file transfer.</p>
- <p><c>tftp</c> uses a callback module to handle the file
- transfer. Two such callback modules are provided,
- <c>tftp_binary</c> and <c>tftp_file</c>. See
- <seealso marker="#read_file/3">read_file/3</seealso> and
- <seealso marker="#write_file/3">write_file/3</seealso> for details.
- You can also implement your own callback modules, see
- <seealso marker="#tftp_callback">CALLBACK FUNCTIONS</seealso>.
- A callback module provided by
- the user is registered using option <c>callback</c>, see

- <title>TFTP SERVER SERVICE START/STOP</title>
-
- <p>A TFTP server can be configured to start statically when starting
- the <c>Inets</c> application. Alternatively, it can be started dynamically
- (when <c>Inets</c> is already started) by calling the <c>Inets</c> application
- API <c>inets:start(tftpd, ServiceConfig)</c> or
- <c>inets:start(tftpd, ServiceConfig, How)</c>,
- see <seealso marker="inets">inets(3)</seealso> for details.
- The <c>ServiceConfig</c> for TFTP is described in
- the <seealso marker="#options">DATA TYPES</seealso>
- section.</p>
-
- <p>The TFTP server can be stopped using <c>inets:stop(tftpd, Pid)</c>,
- see <seealso marker="inets">inets(3)</seealso> for details.</p>
-
- <p>The TPFT client is of such a temporary nature that it is not
- handled as a service in the <c>Inets</c> service framework.</p>

- <title>DATA TYPES</title>
- <p><c>ServiceConfig = Options</c></p>
- <p><c>Options = [option()]</c></p>
- <p>Most of the options are common for both the client and the server
- side, but some of them differs a little.
- The available <c>option()</c>s are as follows:</p>
- <taglist>
- <tag><c>{debug, Level}</c></tag>
- <item>
- <p><c>Level = none | error | warning | brief | normal | verbose | all</c></p>
- <p>Controls the level of debug printouts.
- Default is <c>none</c>.</p>
- </item>
- <tag><c>{host, Host}</c></tag>
- <item>
- <p><c>Host = hostname()</c>, see
- <seealso marker="kernel:inet">inet(3)</seealso>.</p>
- <p>The name or IP address of the host where the TFTP daemon
- resides. This option is only used by the client.</p>
- </item>
- <tag><c>{port, Port}</c></tag>
- <item>
- <p><c>Port = int()</c></p>
- <p>The TFTP port where the daemon listens. Defaults is
- the standardized number 69. On the server side, it can
- sometimes make sense to set it to 0, meaning that
- the daemon just picks a free port (which one is
- returned by function <c>info/1</c>).</p>
- <p>If a socket is connected already, option
- <c>{udp, [{fd, integer()}]}</c> can be used to pass the
- open file descriptor to <c>gen_udp</c>. This can be automated
- by using a command-line argument stating the
- prebound file descriptor number. For example, if the
- port is 69 and file descriptor 22 is opened by
- <c>setuid_socket_wrap</c>, the command-line argument
- "-tftpd_69 22" triggers the prebound file
- descriptor 22 to be used instead of opening port 69.
- The UDP option <c>{udp, [{fd, 22}]}</c> is automatically added.
- See <c>init:get_argument/</c> about command-line arguments and
- <c>gen_udp:open/2</c> about UDP options.</p>
- </item>
- <tag><c>{port_policy, Policy}</c></tag>
- <item>
- <p><c>Policy = random | Port | {range, MinPort, MaxPort}</c></p>
- <p><c>Port = MinPort = MaxPort = int()</c></p>
- <p>Policy for the selection of the temporary port that is used
- by the server/client during the file transfer. Default is
- <c>random</c>, which is the standardized policy. With this
- policy a randomized free port is used. A single port or a range
- of ports can be useful if the protocol passes through a
- firewall.</p>

- <item>
- <p><c>Bool = bool()</c></p>
- <p>Flag for automated use of option <c>tsize</c>. With
- this set to <c>true</c>, the <c>write_file/3</c> client
- determines the filesize and sends it to the server as
- the standardized <c>tsize</c> option. A <c>read_file/3</c>
- client acquires only a filesize from the server by sending
- a zero <c>tsize</c>.</p>

- <title>CALLBACK FUNCTIONS</title>
- <p>A <c>tftp</c> callback module is to be implemented as a
- <c>tftp</c> behavior and export the functions listed
- in the following.</p>
- <p>On the server side, the callback interaction starts with a call to
- <c>open/5</c> with the registered initial callback state.
- <c>open/5</c> is expected to open the (virtual) file. Then either
- function <c>read/1</c> or <c>write/2</c> is invoked
- repeatedly, once per transferred block. At each function call,
- the state returned from the previous call is obtained. When
- the last block is encountered, function <c>read/1</c> or
- <c>write/2</c> is expected to close the (virtual) file
- and return its last state. Function <c>abort/3</c> is only
- used in error situations. Function <c>prepare/5</c> is not used on
- the server side.</p>
- <p>On the client side, the callback interaction is the same, but it
- starts and ends a bit differently. It starts with a call to
- <c>prepare/5</c> with the same arguments as <c>open/5</c> takes.
- <c>prepare/5</c> is expected to validate the TFTP options
- suggested by the user and to return the subset of them that it
- accepts. Then the options are sent to the server, which performs
- the same TFTP option negotiation procedure. The options that are
- accepted by the server are forwarded to function <c>open/5</c>
- on the client side. On the client side, function <c>open/5</c>
- must accept all option as-is or reject the transfer. Then
- the callback interaction follows the same pattern as described
- for the server side. When the last block is encountered in
- <c>read/1</c> or <c>write/2</c>, the returned state is forwarded to
- the user and returned from <c>read_file</c>/3 or
- <c>write_file/3</c>.</p>
-
- <p> If a callback (performing the file access
- in the TFTP server) takes too long time (more than
- the double TFTP time-out), the server aborts the
- connection and sends an error reply to the client.
- This implies that the server releases resources
- attached to the connection faster than before. The
- server simply assumes that the client has given
- up.</p>
-
- <p>If the TFTP server receives yet another request from
- the same client (same host and port) while it
- already has an active connection to the client, it
- ignores the new request if the request is
- equal to the first one (same filename and options).
- This implies that the (new) client will be served
- by the already ongoing connection on the server
- side. By not setting up yet another connection, in
- parallel with the ongoing one, the server
- consumes less resources.</p>
