Good morning, Mr. Lord ... :)

Andu also had this figured out when he made libUrl. For ftp urls, 
just use "get url" and provide a url that ends in "/".

put "ftp://ftp.somewhere.com/elsewhere/" into tUrl
get url tUrl

What you get with an http url will depend on the server 
configuration. Usually the index.html page if it exists, and possibly 
an html-formatted directory listing it doesn't. But not all http 
servers return directory listings.
