The FTP module has the following interfaces:

  ftpclient:get-connection($host as xs:string, $username as xs:string, $password as xs:string) xs:long?
  ftpclient:list($connection-handle as xs:long, $remote-directory as xs:string) document-node()?
  ftpclient:get-binary-file($connection-handle as xs:long, $remote-directory as xs:string, $file-name as xs:string) xs:base64Binary?
  ftpclient:send-binary-file($connection-handle as xs:long, $remote-directory as xs:string, $file-name as xs:string, $data as xs:base64Binary) xs:boolean
