Re: FTP for FileMaker Application...

Jean;

I know that FTP servers return different formats for their long-list format (like 'ls -l'). But somehow FTP clients like Fetch, and the FileMaker FTP plugin I was using, manage to translate them all to a consistent format. I presume that they do this by recognizing the type of OS. There probably aren't more than two or three basic types (Windows, Unix are certainly different, I don't know about others).

It would be nice if curl also did this, since it does so many other things.

The problem with curl is that it doesn't provide a directory listing in a consistent format (not one that contains the file dates) which makes parsing out the current date of files difficult. The FTP plugin I was using did this, and so does Fetch.

Just for your information, the fact that curl is not returning a consistent format is not coming from curl but rather from the FTP server.
