ftp workspace

Please could anyone tell me if it is possible to transfer files to
aand from a website using the apl/w ftp workspace. We also need to be
able to list directories and delete files from the server, all via an
automated process.

ftp hosting is not available on our web space, only http web hosting.
However, we have full ftp access for uploading of website files.  Is
that sufficient?

Does anyone know of any online documentation?

Many thanks for any advice.
