  Do you mean something with declarations like:

  type Connection_Type is new Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled with private;

  procedure Connect(Connection: in out Connection_Type;
                    Site, User, Password: in String;
                    Timeout  : in Duration := 60.0;
                    Ftp_Port : in Claw.Sockets.Port_Type
                      := Claw.Sockets.Ftp_Port;      -- common case
                    Use_Pasv : in Boolean := True);  -- common case

  generic
    with procedure Process_Incoming_Data(
        Line : in out Ada.Streams.Stream_Element_Array;
        Last : in out Ada.Streams.Stream_Element_Offset;
        Quit : in out Boolean) is Null_Process_Incoming_Data;
  procedure General_Get(Connection: in out Connection_Type;
                        Source_File_Name: in String;
                        Target_File_Name: in String; -- "" => no target file
                        Timeout : in     Duration := 2.0);
  -- Use this generic to download a file.  It can save the result
  -- as a new disk file, or pass it as it arrives to the generic
  -- parameter procedure Process_Incoming_Data.  That procedure will

  procedure Change_Working_Directory(Connection: in out Connection_Type;
                                     Target_Directory_Name: in String);

and so forth?
