data connection.)

code specification.

LIST
Sends a list of files from this unit to the remote computer.

name> <CRLF>
<options> can be any of the following.
• -a: Also display file names that begin with “.”
• -F: Append “/” to directory names.
The following data is transferred, depending on whether
<path-name> specifies a directory or file.
• Directory specified: A list of the files in the specified
directory
• File specified: Information about the specified file
• No specification: A list of the files in the current directory
The wildcard characters “*” (any string) and “?” (any
character) may be used in <path-name>.
Input example 1:
LIST-a Clip
Input example 2:
LIST Clip/
*
.MXF
NLST
Sends a list of file names from this unit to the remote
computer, with no other information.
Command syntax: NLST <SP> <options or path-name>
<CRLF>
The following options may be specified when no path-
name is specified.
• -a: Also display file names that begin with “.”.
• -l: Display information other than file name (gives the same
result as the LIST command).

The following data is transferred, depending on whether
<path-name> specifies a directory or file.
• Directory specified: A list of the file names only in the
specified directory
