FTP requests using sockets

[Niely]

Hello

I was wondering, for some reason I need to use sockets to send a request to a FTP server; instead of the FTP module SFML has.

So, SFML sockets to send something to a FTP-server.
The only thing I need to send, is a request and a login. Nothing more, no uploading or something.

Is it possible to do this?
Sending the requests isn't that hard, but I've got problems figuring out how to send a login requests.

Thanks for reading,
Niely

I'd say, have a look at the source code of sf::Ftp, it's really simple. But why would you have to duplicate it instead of just using it?
