It's been a while since I've used FTP, but IIRC in previous versions
you could just use "get" on a directory and it'll return the file list
(note that the trailing "/" is important to let libURL know it's
dealing with a directory):
get url "ftp://name:pass@server/folder/";
Has that changed?
Using "get url /path/to/dir/" or "put url /path/to/dir/ into x" works
with tsNet for both ftp and sftp protocols.
You can also do the same thing using the synchronous or asynchronous
tsNetGet* functions by specifying the directory with a trailing slash as
the URL.
As Richard said, the format varies for directory listings if you get a
"full" listing. If you are just after the list of filenames, you can
use "tsNetSetDirNLST true" if using tsNet commands directly, or
"libUrlSetFtpListCommand 'NLST'" when using libUrl.
Cheers,
Charles
