<p>So lets say I'm using Python's <a href="http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/module-ftplib.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ftplib</a> to retrieve a list of log files from an FTP server. How would I parse that list of files to get just the file names (the last column) inside a list? See the link above for example output.</p>

I believe it should work for you.
```
```
file_name_list = [' '.join(each_file.split()).split()[-1] for each_file_detail in file_list_from_log]
```
```
NOTES -
Here I am making a assumption that you want the data in the program (as list), not on console.
each_file_detail is each line that is being produced by the program.
' '.join(each_file.split())
To replace multiple spaces by 1 space.
