I usually browse some forums ,where i can get ftp server link, to download movies.But some ftp server don't support "LIST" directories,and recommend users using "FlashGet" to download files.I know FlashFXP also can work in the case because of "Manual Get" function."Manual Get" works very well till i found a ftp server yesterday.The ftp server doest not support "LIST" command too.I can not get the files from this sites with "FlashFXP",but "FlashGet" work very well.I read the log message from two software,i find the reason.Manual Get does not work because the site does not support "CWD" command.To read the following message,i know the reason.

FlashGet message:
.......(some command about login)
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (61,156,45,42,179,14).
RETR /down3/release/dvdrip/Conan/Conan_Movie_7.avi
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for /down3/release/dvdrip/Conan/Conan_Movie_7.avi
.........(download complete)

FlashFXP message(using Manual Get):
.......
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (61,156,45,42,209,213).
CWD /down3/release/dvdrip/Conan/
550 /down3/release/dvdrip/Conan/: Permission denied
.......(can not download the file)

I have a suggestion that "Manual Get" of FlashFXP should have a option to choose "not use CWD commnad" or FlashFXP automatically detects whether ftp sites support "CWD" command.
