Net::FTP::Throttle - Throttle FTP connections

SYNOPSIS

my $ftp = Net::FTP::Throttle->new("some.host.name", MegabitsPerSecond => 2)
  or die "Cannot connect: $@";

$ftp->login("username", 'password')
  or die "Cannot login ", $ftp->message;

$ftp->cwd("/pub")
  or die "Cannot change working directory ", $ftp->message;

$ftp->get("this.file")
  or die "get failed ", $ftp->message;

$ftp->put("that.file")
  or die "put failed ", $ftp->message;

DESCRIPTION

Net::FTP is a module implementing a simple FTP client in Perl as described in RFC959. Net::FTP::Throttle is a module which subclasses Net::FTP to add a throttling option, which allows you to set the maximum bandwidth used.

As shown in the synopsis, this is passed into the contructor as a value in megabits per second.

Currently only get and put requests are throttled.
