More likely its a limit of the ftp server software or the underlying |
| 9 |
filesystem than ftp protocol, although you might anticipate timeouts if the |
| 10 |
transfering of file listings is over a slow connection. Does the ftp server |
| 11 |
have issues with any other storage spaces? Is it just one big directory or |
| 12 |
broken down into heirarchy? if the latter, does any particular part seem to |
| 13 |
be causing issues? |
