What FTP directory listing formats are supported?
The File Transfer control recognizes and interprets the most commonly-used directory listing formats – UNIX, MSDOS/Windows, NetWare and VMS – as well as the proprietary Sterling format that is used in some e-commerce applications. If a FTP server is encountered that uses some other, unrecognized format, or if a server claims to be of one of the recognized types, but deviates in its implementation from the expected format, then a user of the File Transfer control may request “unparsed” data, so that the application may interpret the listing data itself.
