Remarks

Some servers can keep one additional name for the file/folder, besides one already held in Name property. As an example, we can use Windows OS - besides having long names, internally Windows also keep old fashion 8+3 names. Typically, ftp servers (where applicable) can keep these values and return them as Additional Name. It is very common for SFTP servers to provide this information.

Just a reminder - you must call ListDir to get directory listing, and then access files through Ftp.DirItems property in order for this property to be available!
