title: scan through FTP folder and display the contents via web
body: <p>are there such method/programs that im able to scan through my FTP folder files and display the contents on a webpage?</p>
  
  <p>apology if this seems vague, let me describe the scenario.
  a user will upload to a public ftp folder, and all the contents on it, will be displayed via JSON/XML or whatever ways im able to display the files/filenames on a PHP page.</p>
  
  <p>i just dont know how to phrase my question properly so i could just google it. but i opted asking here cause maybe someone could help me identify the functionality im looking for.</p>
  
  <p>thanks.</p>
