I don't know if this help you. Have a look at this web site:
http://cr.yp.to/ftpparse.html

It is a useful source code to parse FTP LIST responses that I have used
with this simplify code:

curl_easy_setopt (curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, login_password);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, fullPath);
headerlist = curl_slist_append (headerlist, "CWD MyDir");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_QUOTE, headerlist);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, my_checkdir);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FILE, &myData);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_slist_free_all (headerlist);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_QUOTE, NULL);

In the write function 'my_checkdir' is where I call the ftpparse function
line by line.
Regards.
