Dear all,



For local machine, "list.files" works well to list all files recursively in
particular directory. But , is there a function can be used to list all
files in particular directory on a FTP site?





I use functions of RCurl package to do something like:



===========================================================

library(RCurl)

getURL("ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/DATA/SOFT/GDS/")->inter



###inter give some meaningful results



getURL("ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/DATA/supplementary/samples")->inter2



###above command did not work



Error in curlPerform(curl = curl, .opts = opts, .encoding = .encoding) :

RETR response: 550



===========================================================



Any suggestions? Many thanks!
