The data returned by a FTP server responding to a « LIST » command is not
a standard.. The format of the returned directory list can be customized by
the FTP admin, so there is absolutely no guarantee that the format will
match the one your use in your application.

The solution is to reconfigure the LIST command on your FTP server. If
this is not possible, you have to do the job with the http data returned by
the server. Don't forget that other FTP sever may return a completely
different format...

Steph.

httpwebrequest by default users the http protocol, hence the return is html
even from the ftp method call - its a get response protocol unlike real ftp.
You probably need to use FtpWebRequest: instead.

Anyway you can retrieve the information from the html response.
