FTPFileList.java This class encapsulates a listing of files from an FTP server. It is initialized with an input stream which is read and the input split into lines, each of which (after some possible initial verbiage) represents a file on the FTP server. A parser is also supplied, which is used to iterate through the internal list of lines parsing each into an FTPFile object which is returned to the caller of the iteration methods. This parser may be replaced with another, allowing the same list to be parsed with different parsers. Parsing takes place on an as-needed basis, basically, the first time a position is iterated over. This happens at the time of iteration, not prior to it as the older
(FTPClient.listFiles() methods did, which required a bigger memory hit.
