check whether directory is readable

Hello,
how can I check whether a directory is readable or not. Are there
differences between unix and windows?
Thank you for your hints, Eels

ftp: get list of files

2006-02-07 Thread eels 
Hello,

I want to get a listing of my files at web server with ftp. I wantn 't
download the files.
With yyy = ftp.retrlines('LIST') I get this listing at stdout, but I
need this information at variable yyy.
How can I resolve this problem?

Thank's for your hints, Thomas
