    ftp Library Package 2.1 for Tcl/Tk Manual Pages 
- COMMAND
-   
    - ftp::Get  handle  remote  ?(local | -variable varname)?
-  
- 
	The ftp::Get command retrieves a remote file remote on the
	ftp server to a local file local. If '-variable varname' is
        specified, then the variable 'varname' will get the retreived data
        stored in it, rather than storing the data in a file.   The file
	parameters passed must contain a fully qualified path name, otherwise
	the command uses the current directory. If local file name is
	unspecified, the remote file name is assigned to the remote file name.
		
	If the file was successfully transferred, then the command
	returns 1, if it fails 0.  
 
- EXAMPLE
- 
    - 
	# retrieve unique file name
ftp::Get $conn index.htm
# retrieve different file names
ftp::Get $conn index.htm new.htm
# with different fully qualified path name
if [ftp::Get $conn /incoming/foo.tar.gz /usr/local/src] {
	cd /usr/local/src
	exec gunzip foo.tar.gz
	exec tar xf foo.tar
}
