Disable directory listing

[shenron]

I administrate a site and need to upload files to a directory that has more than 20000 files.

The situation is that with other ftp clients I use i can't disable the list option.

I am considering FLASHFXP, but first i need to know if there is a way of not listing the directory each time i need to upload a file.

I usually spend loads of time expecting for list to load before uploading 1 or 2 files.

I'm not a pro with this things, so sorry if this is a dumb question in any way. I searched your foruns and couldn't find any other related subjects.

There is no way to disable the listing however you could try one the following

1. abort the listing, it should stop while remanining connected to the server. some servers are fussy and will disconnect you but most wont.

2. create a custom command with the code "&cd <path>" without quotes, this will change to the directory with all those files without performing a list. the CWD command wont work directly because it doesn't update the internal paths.

I have the same issue, a directory that I want to transfer with 120,000+ files in it. It hangs on the list -al.

I would like to try the method with a custom command but I'm not sure how to utilize it.

/store/folder

The folder is the one I want. How do i use the custom command?

Thanks
