I am using ncftp, although any method anyone wants to point me to will do,
I need to get the output of ls -lR on the remote ftp server, and store it for parsing (I am searching for a file somewhere in a big dir tree).
typing ls -lR at the ncftp prompt gives me the data I want, but it doesn't seem to be redirectable or greppable.
