Module::Release::FTP - Interact with an FTP server

The release script automatically loads this module when it's time to upload a file

ftp_upload( PARAMS )

Upload the file in local_file as remote_file to the FTP server. You can pass parameters to ftp_upload to change some of the behavior. Each parameter has a default value (see the default_* subs at the end of the module):

	Input key       Default value
	----------      -------------
	upload_dir      /incoming
	user            anonymous
	password        joe@example.com
	hostname        pause.perl.org

ftp_passive_on

Turn on passive FTP.

ftp_passive_off

Turn off passive FTP.

ftp_passive

Get the value of the passive FTP setting

ftp_class_name

The class name to use to create the FTP object. The class needs to follow the Net::FTP interface.

get_ftp_object( HOSTNAME )

Create and returnt the FTP object, based on the class name from ftp_class_name. IT connects to HOSTNAME, but does not login.

Override these methods to change the default values. Remember that the overridden methods have to show up in the Module::Release namespace.
