(Node.js) Transition from SFtp.ReadDir to SFtp.ReadDirListing

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated ReadDir method calls with ReadDirListing.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS
