I like it very much because it works :-)

What I did now is I replaced LIST with NLST and append the pattern.
It's even possible to specify a URL like ftp://user@host/
and a NLST /directory/subdir/*.csv to get a listing of filenames with the
path.

With that possibility I can replace the current functions with curl calls and
I'm more than happy with that.

Many thanks,
