FTPGetDriList assistance with file spec

[kpassaur]

The help file says:

Type can be either D or L, where D obtains a full directory listing, including directories, subdirectories and their contents. L creates a simple file list, containing just filenames matching the file spec.

And the example is

FTPGetDirList>ftp.domain.com,anonymous,[email protected],21,c:\temp\readme.txt,*,D

When I use the Host_File_Spec of just a "*" as in the example I get a list of files and directories of just that folder not all folders and subfolders.

So I tried a *.* and got just the list with no directories (what the "L" switch does)

I was expecting somthing like the Dos Dir /S command which lists all files and subfolders.

Ideally I would just like a list of all folders and sub folders and sub folders of the sub folders, is there a file spec like that?

Or, to get all directories and subdirectories do I have to get this list check a line for a then get that directory and do it again and again. To me is seams this would be something that was somewhat common and there would be a file spec for it.

You're asking for more than what FTP provides. And don't forget that FTP doesn't know what kind of OS/FTP server is on the other side and can only blindly pass it the commands and receive whatever it throws back. You would have to implement this yourself.
