Net::FTP::dataconn - FTP Client data connection class
# Perform IO operations on an FTP client data connection object:
$num_bytes_read = $obj->read($buffer, $size);
$num_bytes_read = $obj->read($buffer, $size, $timeout);
$num_bytes_written = $obj->write($buffer, $size);
$num_bytes_written = $obj->write($buffer, $size, $timeout);
$num_bytes_read_so_far = $obj->bytes_read();
$obj->abort();
$closed_successfully = $obj->close();Some of the methods defined in Net::FTP return an object which will be derived from this class. The dataconn class itself is derived from the IO::Socket::INET class, so any normal IO operations can be performed. However the following methods are defined in the dataconn class and IO should be performed using these.
read($buffer, $size[, $timeout])Read $size bytes of data from the server and place it into $buffer, also performing any <CRLF> translation necessary. $timeout is optional, if not given, the timeout value from the command connection will be used.
Returns the number of bytes read before any <CRLF> translation.
write($buffer, $size[, $timeout])Write $size bytes of data from $buffer to the server, also performing any <CRLF> translation necessary. $timeout is optional, if not given, the timeout value from the command connection will be used.
Returns the number of bytes written before any <CRLF> translation.
bytes_read()Returns the number of bytes read so far.
abort()Abort the current data transfer.
close()Close the data connection and get a response from the FTP server. Returns true if the connection was closed successfully and the first digit of the response from the server was a '2'.
None.
None.
