Remarks

This method supports retrieving the raw listings using either the LIST command or MLSD command. Using GetList is a better choice in most cases, because it returns the parsed list, unlike GetRawList(String, FtpListingType).

Please note that requesting a FtpListingType.MachineProcessingList list will only work on servers that support this extension - this can be determined using the SupportedExtensions property.

Caution: The meaning of the arguments argument is not defined by RFC and varies from server to server. Some servers interpret it as parameters to dir command, some as a filename, some ignore it and some report an error. Calling this method with arguments other than null is not recommended and will make your code incompatible with many FTP servers.

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.
