Remarks

Represents FTP NLST command.

Actual behaviour of NLST command varies from server to server, because the RFC is not clear in explaining what it should do. Some servers return the names of both files and directories, others return files only or even report error if the current directory is empty. Using GetList is a better choice in most cases.

In builds for .NET 4.0 and higher, this method is available as an extension method. Add 'using Rebex.Legacy' (C#) or 'Import Rebex.Legacy' (VB.NET) to your code in order to use it.
