I know you got an answer to how to get a directory listing. But just  
for information, libUrlFtpCommand only handles commands that use the  
ftp "command socket". While LIST and NLIST are initially sent over the  
command socket, to complete they require an additional "data socket"  
that handles the actual transfer of data. That in turn requires some  
further commands to be sent, as well as opening a data socket to read  
from. It quickly gets very messy. Best to use a simple "get url" for  
this.
