Officially, the FTP specifications do not support any arguments for the various directory listing commands. Over the years, different FTP servers have supported different extensions, 'ls -l' is a UNIX directory listing command that some FTP servers support, but not all, and certainly not Microsoft FTP. If your application needs to work with any FTP server, you can not expect any of these extensions to be available. The latest beta versions of the ICS V6 FTP components do support new recursive directory listing commands, but you need to use ICS for client and server: http://www.magsys.co.uk/delphi/magics.asp Othewise you need to list each directory in turn, parse the result, then list any sub-directories found, repeat, loop, etc. My high level TMagFtp component does all this automatically, the compiled objects are free, but to get the source you need to support the ICS SSL project financially or license it from my site. http://www.magsys.co.uk/delphi/magxfer.asp Angus -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
