TITLE   :How to Format Directory Output with FTP Server
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10

Some File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client software makes assumptions
based on the formatting of directory list information. The Windows NT
FTP server provides some flexibility for client software that requires
directory formatting similar to UNIX systems.
 
To set the default for the format of directory listings for new FTP
users, change the value of MsDosDirOutput using the Registry Editor
(REGEDT32.EXE). MS DOS-style listings are a value of 1 (the default),
and UNIX-style listings are a value of 0.
 
The path to the MsDosDirOutput entry is as follows:
 
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FtpSvc
   \Parameters
 
Users can toggle this setting with the site-specific command
DIRSTYLE. On most FTP client implementations (including the
Windows NT FTP client), users enter a command similar to

   quote site dirstyle 

to get this effect.
