With column-based directory parsing, directory listings are assumed to contain one file per line, with optional header and trailer information that is ignored. The following parameters are configured for the host:
Filename start column. This is the column number (with 1 being the first column) in which the filename starts. The filename ends at the first space, or end-of-line.
Date start column. If non-zero, this specifies the column at which the file's date stamp starts. The date/time format must match one of the formats described in Date and Time Formats below. It is permissible to leave this field zero, but then the "Only New Files" option will not be available.
Skip Lines Top. Specifies the number of lines of header information that should be skipped at the beginning of the listing. Typically this is 0.
Skip Lines Bottom. Specifies the number of lines of trailer information that should be skipped at the end of the listing. Typically this is 0.
