Sorry, Roger. You're going to be disappointed.

The LIST command requires that a separate socket be opened for  
receiving the data. This is the nature of FTP. Commands and their  
responses are sent over a "command socket" while data resulting from  
commands (generally speaking) goes over a "data transfer socket". The  
results from a LIST command are considered data.

libUrlFtpCommand only deals with communication over the command socket.

However, if you just want to issue the LIST command, using "get url"  
with a url that ends in a forward slash (i.e. pointing to a  
directory, not a file) will do it for you.
