dirDetails(dirstring) command

Question

Hello.

I have the following problem:

With the help of edtftp I want my program to interact with a ftp server implementation, that seems to not support the "dir <directory-string>" command. So I see no way to use the dirDetails(dirstring) - command of edtftp's FTPClient class. Because this command seems to use a dir <directory> - call on the remote server, which always returns an empty field.

What I would need is a dirDetail() - command which parses the CURRENT pwd on the ftp server and does not need an argument.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thank you.
Peter.

Are you sure it isn't supported? The relevant server commands are LIST and NLST. It would be extremely unusual if these weren't supported.
