You have the hard work yourself:
1. Either use the $ftp->dir() function to get the timestamps, parse it
and find out the latest. A bit unreliable.
2. Better is to use $ftp->ls() to get the list of files, and for each
file, use $ftp->mdtm() to get the modification time, and pick the
latest. mdtm() doesn't work with directories apparently in my ftp
server, so it is useful to skip entries when it doesn't return a
value.
