FTP.ls returning empty array

[jdalrymple]

Summary

When using the ls function, the return is always an empty array. If i use the list function, i see all the directories contents.

I've also tested by using the parse-listing library on the .list functions results and this seems to work well, so im unsure as to why the ls function is returning no results

Got same error

I didnt have the time to debug it, ended up making my own little wrapper

@jdalrymple are you parsing raw list? Can you share solution please.

  }
}

export default FTPClient;

Example

  const client = new FTPClient(credentials);
  let filenames = await client.list(ftpPath);
