Uses listings for machine processing. Used only for FTP servers.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

This property determines whether the server retrieves directory listings using the MLSD command.

The MLSD command is an FTP protocol extension that returns directory information in a standardized, machine-readable format. This can improve the reliability of parsing listings compared to traditional LIST responses.

If this property is set to true, the server uses MLSD for directory listings. If set to false, it uses the default LIST command.

Not all FTP servers support MLSD. If the server does not support it, you must leave this property set to false.
