I'm trying to put together a light duty ftp utility for anyone to use 
o any server they have ftp access to. Since ftp apps can list just 
the files within a directory, it seemed that I should be able to do 
as much.

BUT, I just discovered that Apple has far better cURL documentation 
than http://curl.haxx.se

See 
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/curl.1.html

Using -l as the cURL option retrieves a list of file names only. Voila!

Another curl challenge that I'm wondering if Panorama can handle - 
since I've failed so far in my efforts.

Should Flash Art be able to display an image based on a curl formula 
and an ftp address?
