LibURL Puzzlement

[Jim Bufalini]

Hi Terry,

It's as simple as:

Put "ftp://" & <user> & ":" & <password> & "@" & <host> & </path/> into
myDirVar

NLST or LIST first will determine if you get just the file and directory
names or the long form. This persists beyond the handler, so set it back at
the end of your handler. 

Make sure you path ends with "/" and not a file name or the same command
will retrieve a file. With slash it gives you a directory, if the directory
exists. Otherwise and error in *the result*.

Aloha From Hawaii,

Jim Bufalini
