DESCRIPTION
    This object class implements an asynchronous FTP client, for use in
    IO::Async-based programs.

    The code in this module is not particularly complete. It contains a
    minimal implementation of a few FTP commands, not even the full minimal
    set the RFC suggests all clients should support. I am releasing it
    anyway, because it is still useful as it stands, and could easily
    support extra commands being added if anyone would find it useful.

    The (undocumented) "do_command()" method provides a generic base for the
    currently-implemented commands, and would be the basis for new commands.

    As they say so often in the open-source world; Patches Welcome.

CONSTRUCTOR
  $ftp = Net::Async::FTP->new( %args )
    This function returns a new instance of a "Net::Async::FTP" object. As
    it is a subclass of "IO::Async::Stream" its constructor takes any
    arguments for that class.

METHODS
  $ftp->connect( %args )
    Connects to the FTP server. Takes the following arguments:

    host => STRING
            Hostname of the server

    service => STRING or INT
            Optional. Service name or port number to connect to. If not
            supplied, will use "ftp".

    family => INT
            Optional. Socket family to use. Will default to whatever
            "getaddrinfo()" returns if not supplied.

    on_connected => CODE
            Continuation to call when connection is successful

             $on_connected->()
