If all you need is the modified date/time of a file from an FTP site, the
MDTM command works well.
put libURLftpCommand("MDTM " & pathToFile, tFtpServer, tFtpUserName,
tFtpUserPassword) into tMDTM
answer tMDTM
The commands like LIST, RETR, etc. that need an open socket won't work with
this form. Commands which perform an action such as renaming a file work
well, and return a simple result string.
I wish there was a get the detailedFTPfiles command in LC.
