Also, does this:
For each directory files must be retrieved from, Wget will use the
@code{LIST} command to get the listing. It will try to analyze the
listing, assuming that it is a Unix @code{ls -l} listing, and extract
the time-stamps. The rest is exactly the same as for @sc{http}.
Assumption that every directory listing is a Unix-style listing may
sound extremely constraining, but in practice it is not, as many
non-Unix @sc{ftp} servers use the Unixoid listing format because most
(all?) of the clients understand it. Bear in mind that @sc{rfc959}
defines no standard way to get a file list, let alone the time-stamps.
We can only hope that a future standard will define this.
need to be updated?
