Hi all... is there an FTP client library for Haskell? I just looked through the GHC libs, haskell.org, and a quick Google, without finding anything. --KW 8-)

Darcs contains a binding to libcurl, which can get via FTP, HTTP. Dave Brown

I'm after a fairly complete FTP binding - I need PUT, MDTM, CHMOD, etc as well as RETR.

ftplib (http://nbpfaus.net/~pfau/ftplib/) seems to be fairly complete and it looks easy to create an ffi binding for it. (At first glance, it seems to have strong leanings towards reading directory listings, etc. into temporary files but that seems to be just a convenience layer over some read/write operations.) [I've never used this lib - just looked through the Debian packages for one that stood out. I figure that if a few people suggest libraries you'll quickly find one worth binding to.] -- Alastair
