Re: Active State base-tcl8 vfs::ftp Error can't find package ftp

Hello,All!
I've tried to use vfs::ftp

I use Active State's base-tk8.5-thread-linux-ix86
======
% package require vfs
1.4.1
% package require vfs::urltype
1.0
% package require vfs::zip
1.0.3
% package require vfs::ftp
can't find package ftp
%
======================

I've unwraped this file with sdx and got the following files in vfs
directory

ftpvfs.tcl
pkgIndex.tcl
[...]
So, file ftpvfs.tcl is present.
Any ideas?

The package is likely not declared in the pkgIndex.tcl. I should also
check if ftpvfs.tcl should be present in a basekit or not. Because
vfs::ftp alone is, IIRC, not enough on its own, it will require
tcllib's ftp package AFAIK.

Actually another question: Is someone use vfs::ftp to work with ftp
servers? or it was a bad idea?
