Hi,

what do I have to do if I want to get a directory of the contens of the
remote server ?

In other words, I need to download a file via FTP but the filename changes
every day. I need to do a "dir" or something, how do I do that ?

Thanks

Stephan

What are you usin, the ASINET library?

If yes, then you do not have this option yet since asinet only supports the
basic ftp operations get, put and delete.

If you need functions like LIST, you will have to implement it yourself
using the socket functions.

The relevant RFCs needed for the implementation can be found here:

As a start, I would use rfc959.
