LIST - UFTP command
Description
The LIST command lists files in a directory.
By default, if the FTP server is running under an operating system that does not provide file sizes with lists, UFTP will calculate the file size by transferring the file to the client and counting the bytes received. The file contents are not saved.
Although this provides an accurate size for files, it comes with a cost in terms of expending the resources necessary for this. Using the NO_SIZE bypasses this operation. The file sizes will not be available, but the overhead will have been bypassed. If NO_SIZE is used with a server that provides sizes, it has no effect. It is effective for a z/OS FTP server.
Note
z/OS is the only FTP server operating system known to not provide file size.
