JClientFtp::getInstance

Returns the global FTP connector object, only creating it if it doesn't already exist.

You may optionally specify a username and password in the parameters. If you do so, you may not login() again with different credentials using the same object. If you do not use this option, you must quit() the current connection when you are done, to free it for use by others.
