the most probable explanation is that it's a diagnostic message, built into
the software to help them debug the code. the name of the function
implies that the program expects to get a directory listing, then pass it
to the routine DoDirList() for handling. if everything works properly,
the routine should return a positive value. if something goes wrong, the
routine returns a value of zero, telling the program that it's time to yell
for help.
as to exactly what went wrong, i haven't the faintest guess. to be
honest, i'm not even sure whether it's being generated by the client
software on your own machine or the FTP daemon on the server. does the
message come up in an error dialog, or does it appear where the directory
listing would normally go?
this is a very, very off-the-cuff guess, but you might want to check with
Tech support to make sure the access permissions for the directory you're
trying to contact are set correctly. every FTP session begins in a home
directory, and is associated with a user account. if the permissions of
the directory won't allow that user account to read or modify anything, you
might get that kind of message. it's also worth having them check to see
that the directory exists at all.. telling a system to list the contents of
a directory which doesn't even exist tends to cause a certain amount of
existential angst.
