I've written an ftplib that makes use of guile's tcp/ip functionality.  It
works for (at least) Ariel and me.  I've not tested it against solaris 
(where I've heard it has a problem. . .I don't currently have access
to a solaris machine), but it's worked okay on Linux and BSD-based
clients aimed at Linux and BSD-based servers.  For those of who are
interested, it can be found at the following URL:

FWIW, it's the first "real" thing I ever wrote in scheme, so I'd
imagine there are some better ways to do things.
