Browsing Directories

To list the contents of a remote server, specify the remote server with no local target:

movedat foo.bar.com:

For subdirectories, give the pathname followed by a forward slash '/':

movedat foo.bar.com:subdir/

Absolute paths, if allowed by the server, should be preceeded by a forward slash '/':

movedat foo.bar.com:/top/level/subdir/

The server always uses forward slash '/' as its path delimter, regardless of platform.  However, Windows servers can also specify a volume identifier like this:

movedat windows.bar.com:D:/dirname/subdirname/

Note that this use of volume identifiers will only make sense to Windows versions of the ExpeDat server.

Pathnames containing non-ASCII characters, such as UTF-8 multibyte characters, will be passed through to stdout as-is.  This may cause problems for shell scripts or other programs which cannot handle non-ASCII characters.  To receive listings in a machine parseable format, with non-ASCII characters fully escaped, see Structured Lists.

If you wish to display the contents of non-directories to stdout, see the Displaying Files section.
