Description

Documentation under "USAGE" in the class NTFTPFileEntryParser is out-of-date.
Also, there is some other javadoc code in
FTPClient.createFileList(FTPFileEntryParser parser) which is more up-to-date but
for some reason does not appear in the javadocs that are generated.

Comments

[Steve Cohen]

This is a more up-to-date way:

FTPClient f=FTPClient();
f.connect(server);
f.login(username, password);
FTPFileList list = createFTPFileList(directory, parser);
FTPFileIterator iter = list.iterator();

parser = new XXXFTPEntryParser(); // instantiate an FTPFileEntryParser object of
the appropriate type.
while (iter.hasNext()) {
FTPFile[] files = iter.getNext(25); // "page size" you want
//do whatever you want with these files, display them, etc.
//expensive FTPFile objects not created until needed.
}

Removed out-of-date documentation and added up-to-date documentation in org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPFileEntryParser, linked to from all the implementations' javadocs.
