Please read the Indy 10 documentation.  This issue is covered in the
DirectoryListing topic.

The formatting of FTP listings in the LIST and NLST commands are not
standardized at all.  Servers are free to use whatever they want.  There are
new drafts that introduce additional commands that have standardized
formats, but not all servers support them yet.  As such, there are dozens of
formats used online today.

In Indy 9, the DirectoryListing supported only a few hard-coded formats that
were commonly used.

In Indy 10, the DirectoryListing was completely redesigned to use a plugin
system now.  Indy 10 has several dozen parser plugins available, but none of
them are enabled by default.  That is why the Count is always 0 -
DirectoryListing doesn't know how the parse the data.  You have to include
the appropriate IdFTPListParse...hpp header files for the specific parser(s)
that you want to use.  Or alternatively include the IdAllFTPListParsers.hpp
header file to enable them all.
