FTP 'ls' one screen at a time? Or how to?

[rainbow]

In Ftp, when you change to a big directory and use ls, the resulting long list of file names goes off the screen. How do you make it pause at a screenful, the way you can at the bash command interpreter shell? "ls | more" doesn't work. What does?
Thanks for any help on this. Rainbow ((;)

Most ftp programs allow you to do it this way:

ftp> ls . |more

(the first argument of ls is the remote directory, which happens to be the current directory . and the second is the file that should receive the directory information, which happens to be a pipe to the command more) Note that there is no space between the pipe character (|) and the command name (more), but if you need spaces you can use quotes ("") or escaped spaces (\ ).

Hope this helps...
