   <function>ftp_nb_get</function> retrieves a remote file from the FTP server,
   and saves it into a local file. 
  </para>
  <para>
   The difference between this function and <function>ftp_get</function> is that
   this function retrieves the file asynchronously, so your program can perform 
   other operations while the file is being downloaded.
