I need a routine to upload a given file (or better: a J character
string) to a remote FTP site. I don't need a top-end like FileZilla.
The username, password, port, remote directory, filename can all be
hard-coded or passed as parameters.

I don't need a flexible FTP session, except maybe to debug it when
working with a new site. It just needs to abort if the session goes
wrong. It would be nice if it could download as well as upload,
especially to download the directory of the remote target folder.

I have just such a routine written in APL+Win which I've found quite
satisfactory in use, but this only works in Windows. I want to port
the APL+Win apps that make use of it to the Macintosh, for which I
don't have development tools nowadays, so (presumably) it needs to be
written in J.
