Calculate FTP Space Used -

Calculate FTP Space Used - List directories recursively - Abort

1. Use "Calculate FTP Space Used"
2. Check "List directories recursively"
3. The size of directoies must be big.
4. Start calculating ("Check")
5. Try to hit "Abort"

BUG: FlashFXP continues to calculate until some moment. Some times it can be up to 3-4 minutes. I think until it calculates all folders.

I think that it is some sort of BUG, as when you press "Abort" it must stopes calculating at once.

That it.
Thanks.

Are you using "STAT" to list instead of "LIST" ? If you are it's impossible to abort this type of listing.

Sometimes it takes longer than normal to abort a recrusive listing with some ftp servers. It depends on the ftp server software.

No. I didn't check this option for that FTP.

That is the thing I can't understand - why it is impossible to abort?
Because if we abort such type of listing - ftp server software will continue to think that we still are listeting and will not respond to our commands?

Thanks for reply.

Indeed. Think of this like running a script on a server. When you're running one script on a ftp, the ftpd will be running only that script for you, and no other input is allowed. The recursive file list can take a long time (as you noticed) and only a hard disconnect can "abort".
