  '''Q: On which server operating systems is FTPClient able to bring back a 
parsed listing?'''
  
- '''A:''' Currently parsers have been written for UNIX, NT, OS/2 and VMS and 
OS400.  These can be autodetected by the code without being specified.  
Additionally, the code correctly handles cases where NT or OS400 servers have 
been configured to look like unix servers.  There is also a means of specifying 
a user-written parser by class name.  All of these parsers return FTPFile 
objects with as much information about the file as can be gathered from the 
listing.

  If none of these is sufficient, FTPClient.listNames() may always be called.  
This retrieves just the file name without other information.
