Parsing TIdFTP.List(...)

Has any one written a reliable routine to parse the results of doing a
.List(...) with Indy's FTP client?

If not, can someone tell me and/or give examples of the possible formats a
list may come back in?

Thanks -

I was hoping for more than just the file name and weather or not it's a
directory.

Can someone point out the differences between the way Windows & UNIX give
their listings? Or maybe tell me the name of a UNIX FTP server I can connect
to and figure it out?

When I try to connect with Indy I get "Syntax error in paramaters" ... it
works fine with IE's built in FTP Client.

Is there anything special I need to know?

Where you get this error?
I can't reproduce it here.

Try with ftp.microsoft.com It returnts UNIX like file listing.

It was actually an incorrect password. I was using a blank password and I
should have been using an email address. Though, you would think I would get
a different error message...

It does? Wow... that's quite a surprise. Thanks, I'll try it.
