(FTP)
|
|
When listing an FTP directory, this switch forces a name-only view. This is
|
|
especially useful if the user wants to machine-parse the contents of an FTP
|
|
directory since the normal directory view does not use a standard look or
|
|
format. When used like this, the option causes an NLST command to be sent to
|
|
the server instead of LIST.
|
|
|
|
Note: Some FTP servers list only files in their response to NLST; they do not
|
|
include sub-directories and symbolic links.
|
|
|
|
(SFTP)
|
|
When listing an SFTP directory, this switch forces a name-only view, one per line.
|
|
This is especially useful if the user wants to machine-parse the contents of an
|
|
SFTP directory since the normal directory view provides more information than just
|
|
file names.
|
|
|
|
(POP3)
|
|
When retrieving a specific email from POP3, this switch forces a LIST command
|
|
to be performed instead of RETR. This is particularly useful if the user wants
|
|
to see if a specific message-id exists on the server and what size it is.
|
|
|
|
Note: When combined with --request, this option can be used to send a UIDL
|
|
command instead, so the user may use the email's unique identifier rather than
|
|
its message-id to make the request.
