ftp fetch using RCurl?

I am using RCurl, version 0.9-4, under windows. I can not find the function
getURLContent(). Is it being renamed ? or is it in a different version?

Also, in the reference manual on CRAN R under package RCurl, I found a
function getBinaryURL() documented but can not be found in the package as
well.

I would use something like

   content = getURLContent("ftp://...../foo.zip")

   attributes(content) = NULL

   writeBin(content, "/tmp/foo.zip")

and that should be sufficient.

(You have to strip the attributes or writeBin() complains.)
