Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function GetRawList ( _
	arguments As String, _
	listingType As FtpListingType _
) As String()
C#
public string[] GetRawList(
	string arguments,
	FtpListingType listingType
)

Parameters

arguments
Type: System..::..String
Arguments for the list command.
listingType
Type: Rebex.Net..::..FtpListingType
The listing command to use.

Return Value

The array of response lines.

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.
