Yes. I didn't bother to check the RFC to see if the command was part 
of standard ftp, I just looked at a "reference" version to see if the 
command was there.

No. FWIW I checked my local Fedora4 ftp and it's help also does not list "ldir"

I don't believe there is one. "lcd" is there to change the local 
directory, but AFAIK I'm locally blind. FWIW, my JNOS 11.1c help does 
list "ldir", though I didn't try it...

For me, I was wondering if "ldir" is a standard ftp command rather 
than a JNOS extension. As far as I've looked, it appears to be a JNOS 
extension. Seems like it ought to be standard ftp, but apparently it is not.
