Returns a list of entries for a directory on the FTP server. The VI uses the LIST command to interpret the list as a UNIX ls command output. If the VI fails, it uses the LIST command to retrieve the list of names in the directory.

Note Only the name in the array cluster is guaranteed to be correct.

(NI Linux Real-Time) The FTP server is disabled by default, and you cannot use it in safe mode. National Instruments recommends using WebDAV as the file transfer mechanism for improved security.
