Although INDEX will simply 'ls -l' anything in the $filedir
directory, GET was provided to work only on archives (ie, text
messages). If you put binary files in the directory, GET will
try to send them untouched rather than using an appropriate
encoding scheme such as UU or MIME.

I'm not saying you don't want to proceed. Its just that getting
your $filedir invocation to work will be the least of your
problems.
