Just a couple of small additions. Using "word 9" is probably safer
than using "word -1" to get the name of the file. The reason is that
additional data can appear after the file name, for example, if the
file is a link to another file. Using word 9 assumes the ftp server
is returning directory listings in standard Unix format (which is the
case with most servers, even on Windows).

(If you know in advance the server you are dealing with, you should
probably confirm the directory listing format before you make your
script.)
To distinguish directories from files, check that char 1 in any line
of the listing = "d".
