Yes, I saw that specific API method call, but I don't really want to implement
a big set of IF THEN clauses in my code...then I just become an interpreter for
the FTP specification.
Maybe I should be asking a different question, like what is sendCommand() used
for in the first place?
Maybe it's not possible to do what I want to do, and I WILL have to
String-compare everything I read in, and use an IF THEN block to call the
various API methods, as I encounter different keywords (i.e. re-implement the
wheel)...
Thanks!
