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 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.
