# NAME

Net::FTP::dataconn - FTP Client data connection class

# DESCRIPTION

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'.
