net/ftp

[Joe Gutierrez]

There's a method in Ruby's net/ftp library called list/ls. Does anyone
have a list (or can someone point me to a place that has a list) of all
possible arguments that you can pass to ls?

You can pass anything you want as it isn't checked. I don't think the FTP
protocol actually specifies any arguments for LIST/LS. If you're asking
which arguments are going to actually produce a meaningful result, I'm not
sure where to point you.

FTP's LIST, NLST, MLSD and MLST commands accept an argument which
represents the *path*.
If you send something like "LIST foo" the content of the directory
"foo" will be returned.

Of course it does. I should have been clearer in my response Apart from
the obvious path argument, I'm not aware of any others
