Directory to URL?

[Scott Rossi]

Is it possible to set the directory to a Web-based URL to get a list of
files?

I've been trying the following without success:

  set the directory to url "http://www.myserver.com/test/"
  set the directory to url "ftp://ftp.myserver.com/test/"
  set the directory to url "ftp://uname:pword@ftp.myserver.com/test/"

Result = "Can't open directory."

Am I missing the obvious?

Thanks & Regards,
