cURL- listing FTP directory contents, or downloading the entire directory

Question

Using CURL and connecting by FTP, how do I list the contents of a remote directory? Instead of downloading a single file individually and having to know the filename, I have a requirement to download the whole remote directory (which will just be a bunch of text files).

Is there any way using FTP with cURL to either:

1. Download all files in a directory
2. List all files in a directory, so I can iterate over these and download.

If you don't have to use cURL, try this guy. . It looks like this closer to what you are looking for!
