TraverseFilesInFTP

Traverse all files in the FTP, and record it in the file

Description

The purpose of the program is to record all the files in the movie FTP, and compare it with yesterday's one to see any new movie in the FTP.

The connection is realized through function FTP, it does not always work well because it does not read feedback from FTP server. If I'm still interested in this part, I will improve it through function TCPIP.

The traversal method is realized through recursion. Don't worry about the speed, delay of network is the main cause of low speed.

[Jos vd G]

This submission has several problems:
1) it has no usefull help
2) it only works for a fixed ftp address
3) there are several programming issues that can be improved (e.g., the "while 1" loop, use function output arguments, instead of creating (and thereby possibly ovewritting) two global variables.
4) it is unclear what is meant by "to record all the files in the movie FTP".
5) why zip a single m-file?

Please explain why is this file useful for the "general" FEX public?
I tend to rate this submission as Poor, but since I was unable to use this file properly, I will be mild in judgement.
