If you set HostFileName property to an empty string, you'll get the complete directory. If you set "*.txt", it is likely that you'll receive all txt files. You've got the idea... > And there is no file on the server that contains a > listing of files itself (such as an "Index.html" or whatever). No need. The FTP server build the directory list on the fly according to the argument you supply. Please experience with any FTP utility (Windows command line or ICS FtpTst sample are perfect). > I need to beable to specify a directory name on the server, and get a > listing of all the > filenames under that directory. Is that possible with ICS/List? Of course. As I said in my previous message, you first need to change the current directory on the FTP server to whatever directory you want using the cwd() method. Then get the file list using the ls() or List() command. > Or should I > use the Directory() method instead?

Use FtpTst sample program to better understand what the commands are doing.

The method doesn't take any argument. You forget you are using a COMPONENT not a library. A component has methods (functions and procedure) as you have discovered. But it also has properties and events. > Does this mean that it changes the working directory to what you > have assigned to the HostDirName property? You've got it ! > I thought setting HostDirName would be all that was needed... Use FtpTst sample program to better understand what the commands are doing.
