Simple connection check

Xian - ITManx | Edit | Show History

Can you add a method to check if a connection can be made.

The simplest way to test a connection is to use PrintWorkingDirectory, which means you get a double request to the server like so

Request: PWD
Response: 257 "/Home/"
Request: PWD
Response: 257 "/Home/"

Please implement MLSD ! Without it, getting a real detailed file list is impossible... I had to write a custom FTP class because of this.

Missing Methods

MrGadget1024 | Edit | Show History

Add support for EVERY command in the protocol, not just a hand-picked few that work for IIS.
Not all systems support "NLST" but may support "LS"
