use backticks/qx instead of system to capture the output of ls, then print it back to the client

    i've tried using backticks and still get nothing. I also just tried sending the output from the server to a file and having the client read the file. This would work as long as the client didn't have to wait for the server. The client would not wait for the server to finish before it read the file.
