is there any library available to design FTP client functionality in

i searched in google. Thousands of links suggested me to use cURL..but
its not compartible with Borland c++.

I have already asked it in win32 community. But becoz of medium
activity in that community and this question is a bit relevant to C
language, I decided to ask it here.

Wrong again.

This newsgroup discusses the C programming language, as defined by the
ISO C Standard(s) and by older documents such as K&R (Kernighan and
Ritchie, "The C Programming Language", 1st and 2nd editions).

Standard C has no built-in support for networking, either in the core
language or in the standard library. That means that any networking
support must be provided by additional libraries, provided by a
particular C implementation, by the operating system, or by some third
party.

(A few trolls will insist that these things are appropriate for this
newsgroup. Please ignore them.)

You say you're using Borland C++. I assume you're using it in a mode
in which it acts as a C compiler. (If not, you're programming in C++,
not C, and you're definitely in the wrong newsgroup.)

Why do you assume that cURL is not compatible with Borland C++? Grab
the source distribution and take a look at docs/INSTALL, searching for
"Borland". If you run into problems, consult an appropriate mailing
list at <http://curl.haxx.se/>.

There's all that, but I would think C is a clumsy tool for something like
this compared to alternatives.

This stuff is *easy* in Perl and ruby.

A background in C helps for Perl, as under the hood is C. Ruby's written
with MVC++ 6.
