[R] Listing the contents of an FTP directory via R?

[Jonathan Greenberg]

R-helpers:

I'd like to be able to store all the file information from an ftp site
(e.g. file and foldernames) through an R command.  Any ideas how to do
this?  Here's an example site to use:

ftp://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/MOTA/MCD15A3.005
