Hi All,
This is not what Firefox shows!
$ curl --list-only

If you include a terminal "/", then you get the expected output. If you
increase the verbosity level on the curl command:
curl -v -list-only ...
then you can see that curl connects to the ftp server and changes
directory upto "2.2.1" but no further, so I assume that without the "/"
at the end curl doesn't consider "win32" to be a directory and ignores
it for the purpose of the --list-only command.
I presume the browsers are noticing that "win32" is a directory and are
changing into the directory before doing the listing.

vlc-2.2.1.tar.xz.md5
macosx
win32
vlc-2.2.1.tar.xz.sha1
vlc-2.2.1.tar.xz.sha256
vlc-2.2.1.tar.xz
win64
vlc-2.2.1.tar.xz.asc
It should look like:
$ curl --list-only
ftp://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/2.2.1/win32/win32
vlc-2.2.1-win32.xpi
vlc-2.2.1-win32.xpi.sha256
vlc-2.2.1-win32.7z.md5
vlc-2.2.1-win32.xpi.asc
vlc-2.2.1-win32.xpi.md5
...
And I can get that by repeating the win32:
curl --list-only
ftp://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/2.2.1/win32/win32
But that messes up my script.
wget does the same thing.
What the heck ????

I figured out a work around for this, but I would still
like to know why this is happening
Hi Jonathan,
That was it. Mumble, mumble. It was about to drive me crazy.
Thank you for helping me with this,
