Although you have to use .dir () as the other posters have written, it is
important to know that different ftp servers will format the information in
different ways.

One very annoying feature of many UNIX based ftp servers is the following:
drwxrwsr-x   5 python   www          8192 Mar  1 16:54 ..
drwxrwsr-x   2 python   www          8192 Aug  7  2001 art

Note how a recent file/directory has a time, where as an older file will
have a year instead.
