# Class Ftp_client.get_method

    class get_method : file:filename -> representation:representation -> store:(ftp_state -> Ftp_data_endpoint.local_receiver) -> unit -> ftp_method

This FTP method walks to the right directory and gets `file` from the server. The file is stored in the `local_receiver` that can be obtained by calling the `store` function. The selected `representation` remains unchanged.
