[R] ftp fetch using RCurl?

I am using RCurl, version 0.9-4, under windows. I can not find the function
getURLContent(). Is it being renamed ? or is it in a different version?

Also, in the reference manual on CRAN R under package RCurl, I found a
function getBinaryURL() documented but can not be found in the package as
well.
