This method establishes a connection to the FTP server an FTPClient object is created for. A connection may fail if the object was instantiated with invalid parameters, if the FTP server does not respond or if the user authentication fails. When the connection is successful, files can be exchanged between server and client using the :getFile() or :putFile() methods.
