Hello.

The FTP documentation of Ruby is at:

  http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/net/ftp/rdoc/index.html

When you have a local file on your HDD, you can do this:

  File.directory? '/tmp' # => true
  File.file? '/etc/ld.so.conf' # => true

I propose something like that to be added to the Ruby-FTP library too.

So that a user can find out whether something is a file or a directory,
without the need to download it, or parse the .list output manually.

This is mostly for convenience.
