High Level FTP library

I've used the ftputil package before with some success.  It's not bad, but it
really depends on what you're trying to do.  If you write a couple of custom
functions to get you started, you should be able to put those in a module and
re-use as needed.

I know that I had to code my own stuff to handle some non-standard FTP flavors
for some of our partners.  Knowing how to work ftplib was pretty helpful at that
point as ftputil didn't support those versions of FTP.  It still did a great job
for regular stuff, but not for that.

Hope that helps some.
