Problem in using URL to FTP

Question

The result received was in http format.
How can I instruct the FTP server to give me the directory list?
My code is :
int readCount = 0;
URL url = new URL("ftp://hostname.com");
URLConnection uc = url.openConnection();
InputStream content = uc.getInputStream();
File f = new File("C:\\test.txt");
f.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(f);
byte[] buf = new byte[102400];
String contentType = uc.getContentType();
while ((readCount = content.read(buf)) > 0) {
fos.write(buf, 0, readCount);
fos.close();
content.close();
