sockets and ftp

Is it possible to make an ftp client using sockets in lua? I've made a tedzero client that uses wifi to transfer files but I was wondering if I should scrap that and make an ftp client instead. I think in the end it would be more useful.

How about smb? I haven't found a lot of information on making an smb client so if anyone had any pointers, that would be awesome!

Woohoo! Thanks to wikipedia, I finally got some Lua code that logs onto an ftp server and lists the files! I'm on my way.

I never realized how strange and insecure ftp is.
