New submission from Giampaolo Rodola' <[email protected]>:
>From RFC-3659:
The MLST and MLSD commands are intended to standardize the file and
directory information returned by the server-FTP process. These
commands differ from the LIST command in that the format of the
replies is strictly defined although extensible.
The patch in attachment adds support for MLSD command.
This should ease the development of ftp clients which are forced to parse
un-standardized LIST responses via dir() or retrlines() methods to obtain
meaningful data for the directory listing.
Example:
>>> import ftplib
>>> from pprint import pprint as pp
>>> f = ftplib.FTP()
>>> f.connect("localhost")
>>> f.login("anonymous")
>>> ls = f.mlsd()
>>> pp(ls)
