howto List hidden DIRs on FTP with IPWOrks ?

[Pascal]

Hello,
iam using the FTP-Client from IPworks .

I list the Contents with : ftp2.Action :=ftplistdirectorylong;

But there are no hidden DIRs diplayed !?

When i use : ftp2.Command := 'LIST';

then the Server Replys :
LIST
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
425 Can't open data connection.

whats wrong ? And how can i list hidden dirs ?

Because the server might not chose to send them to your client. If the
server does not choose to send it to the client, it will not appear and
this could easily happen irregardless of the FTP component you use.

"Can't open data connection." is a server response stating that the
second connection needed with FTP could not be established. You
shouldn't get
anything back frmo the control if the second connection could not be
established. Try actually using the list directory method of the
control and let the control handle sending raw commands to the server.
That way the control knows to make the second 'data' connection.
