FTP Directory listings under TOPS-20

     I have been having trouble doing FTP to Arpanet hosts using
the TOPS-20 operating system.  They support filenames of the sort

     	  Device:<dir1.dir2...>file.type.version

     I want to find out what legal choices exist for "device" and
the directory heirarchy.  This is easy to do when FTP-ing to a
Unix host, but I don't know how to do it when the host is running
TOPS-20.

     Can anyone enlighten me?  This is particularly important,
because I know there are many good things on the archives at
SIMTEL-20, but I don't know how to get a list of what's available.

     (send *advance* :insert 'thanks)
