GridFTP Control API\&. 

The globus_ftp_control library provides low-level services needed to implement FTP client and servers\&. The API provided is protocol specific\&. See the GASS Transfer library for a protocol-independent transfer interface\&.
.PP
This data transfer portion of this API provides support for the standard data methods described in the \fBFTP Specification\fP as well as \fBextensions\fP for parallel, striped, and partial data transfer\&.
.PP
Any program that uses the GridFTP Control Library must include the \fBglobus_ftp_control\&.h\fP header\&.
.PP
The API documentation is organized into several sections

The Globus FTP Control library uses the standard module activation and deactivation API to initialize it's state\&. Before any GridFTP functions are called, the module must be activated
.PP
.PP
.nf
globus_module_activate(GLOBUS_FTP_CONTROL_MODULE);
.fi
.PP
.PP
This function returns GLOBUS_SUCCESS if the GridFTP library was successfully initialized\&. This may be called multiple times\&.
.PP
To deactivate the GridFTP library, the following must be called
.PP
.PP
.nf
globus_module_deactivate(GLOBUS_FTP_CONTROL_MODULE);
