- Maybe it would be useful to show the partial directory listing so users can start moving files/reducing files from the huge directory ....

The SFTP engine we use returns the directory listing on a directory listing successful event, There is no way to access the directory listing prior to this event, on failure or error the event isn't called. I am not sure if this is by design or a limitation of the SFTP protocol.
While I can understand under this special situation it might be nice to have the partial directory listing, in all other types of situations only a complete directory listing would be acceptable.
Also if the error is caused by out of memory then there would be no way to even show the partial directory listing because additional processing is needed.
