[kepler-users] FTP Client

[Daniel Crawl]

Hi Kris,

I updated the FTP Client actor so you can set the local directory.
Supporting MGET will take more work. The source code is in:

kepler.modules/actors/src/org/geon/FTPClient.java

Alternatively, you could use the External Execution actor to run
a command-line ftp client such as wget or curl.
