# `--list-only`
|
|
|
|
When listing an FTP directory, force a name-only view. Maybe particularly
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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 filenames.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
For FILE, this option has no effect yet as directories are always listed in
|
|
this mode.
|
|
|
|
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.
