File Name Problem from FTP

Hi, there. I am new to UNIX and I am writing a script that it uses the FTP to get a list of the files from the FTP server, and compares this list with the local folder to check if the file already exists. If not exist, then it connects to the FTP server again to download the files

The problem is that the list I got from the server is in long format. That is, it includes also the permissions, the time, etc. How can I split it to get only the file name so that I can compare the list and download the file using the file name?

The command I use in the FTP side is the "ls", which is equal to "nlist".
