Are using ActiveTcl 8.5 ?

If yes, you can do either

(1)    teacup install ftp
(2)    teacup install tcllib
(3)    teacup update
(4)    Install ActiveTcl 8.4 into the same directory.

Ad 1: Installs the ftp package and its dependencies for your use
Ad 2: Installs the tcllib profile, which contains all packages of Tcllib,
including ftp
Ad 3: Pulls all packages from the teacup which you  have not installed, or
teapot has a newer version than installed. This includes packages exclusive
to teapot.
Ad 4: Now the 8.5 tclsh can use all packages in ActiveTcl 8.4. You will not
get the packages exclusive to teapot.

If you are not using ActiveTcl 8.5, which version of ActiveTcl are you using
?
Are you using ActiveTcl at all ?

  All,

              I am trying to do some ftp work in tcl. When I put "package
require ftp" I get "Error: can't find package ftp". How do I check for this
package and install it if not found?





  Thanks in advance
