Command:
   RETR (Retrieve File)

Synopsis:
   Downloads a file from the FTP server to the client.

Syntax:
   RETR <filename>

Description:
   The RETR command causes the named file to be sent from the FTP
   server to the client over the data connection.  If the file can't
   be found, access is denied or the data connection can't be opened
   an appropriate error message is returned.

Examples:
   RETR JIM.TXT         Download file JIM.TXT from current directory.
   RETR /FRED/DOG.EXE   Download file DOG.EXE from directory /FRED

Notes:
   You can only RETR files if you have read permission, and the
   directory owner allows you read access.
   Single files only, wildcards not accepted.
