There are some libraries internal to lftp, they are not shared and not installed by default. If there is a need, they can be made shared and installed. You can also make a loadable modules for lftp. (That is, not a program which uses lftp libraries, but a module which is used by lftp). There are some examples of modules. E.g. mirror command can be a module if configured with the option --with-modules. > 2. How do I get directory listing?

It is created with FileAccess::MakeListInfo method, then it does all the work and nice info can be fetched with GetResult method. You can see some examples in lftp code. And yes, LONG_LIST returns human-readable server dependent output. -- Alexander.
