i think in the getinputstream method using the "namelist" command instead of
"cwd" has a lot going for it, faster and standarised and by using the code
below ( untested and incomplete ) i think you get directory output that is
transparent with the "file" protocol, which makes this class much more useful.


    ArrayList files = connection.nameList(url.getPath());
    // fork to file code on error because not directory
    // robust test, allows for varied file systems at the remote end.
    ByteArrayOutputStream sink = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    Writer writer = new PrintWriter(sink);
    Iterator fileIter = files.iterator();
    while ( fileIter.hasNext() ) {
        sink.println(fileIter.next());
    };
    return new ByteArrayInputStream(sink.toByteArray());


i hope this shows the idea, i can't run classpath at the moment, and wanted to
make this point now.
