Introduction
This is how to perform an ftp list command using net.ftp.list from the net module.
Task [top]
Using the ftp list command
Implementation [top]
This example uses the NASA ITCD ftp server — which unfortunately has now been decommissioned. So you will need to choose another ftp server.
Note: There are many (millions) of public ftp servers available on the internet — so a quick google will find you many suitable test servers.
We could have updated the code to use another ftp server, but a test server we choose today might be gone tomorrow.
Here is the code for you to copy:
function main()
local id=net.ftp.init{
server='<your ftp server address>',
username='anonymous', password='<your email address>'}
id:list{remote_path='/'}
id:list{remote_path='/pub'}
