CIt doesn’t matter the language, Once you are connected to the ftp server, just send the commands following the FTP protocol..
You should check the File Transfer Protocol RFC
That is if you want to do an ftp client from scratch. You can use libraries for doing so.
The commands you need, could be
LISTcommand. But It is crappy. A new RFC updates the first one and add two new commands that do exactly what you want. Those commands areMLSTandMLSDand you can see the RFC 3659 here. You should take care, I think not all ftp servers accept these commands.One think you can do, is use a sniffer like Wireshark to sniff and get info about what commands are used by FTP clients. (BTW: Wireshark filters should be: ftp || ftp-data )
Linux FTP Command uses
LISTfor its dir command.
