Answer 1

You can find a lot of information by googling "ftp protocol", but you you can here the RFC #114 which could be seen as the official specification of the protocol.

Answer 2

There is a sample provided by Apple in the SDK documentation that does exactly that:

Answer 3

RFC 959 is the original standard for the FTP protocol. You can get a copy of this from this IETF Website. You can also download a free or free for personal use ftp server like filezilla or sysax ftp server to use for testing your iphone program. Hope this helps.
