On shared servers, I've run into that problem. However, I believe that it's on the FTP server end not the client end. pure-FTP server for example can be configured to only return x number files:Jcart wrote:does anyone know how to display more than 2,000 files in the FTP clients? There seems to be a sort of limit.
- '-L <max files>:<max depth>': To avoid stupid denial-of-service attacks (or just CPU hogs), Pure-FTPd never displays more than 2000 files in response to an 'ls' command. Also, a recursive 'ls' (-R) never goes further than 5 subdirectories. You can increase/decrease those limits with the '-L' option.

Same here. Although i've found a need to not open those folders anymore.Jcart wrote:I tend to prefer Filezilla after experimenting with several different FTP clients.
slightly off topic: does anyone know how to display more than 2,000 files in the FTP clients? There seems to be a sort of limit.
WS_FTP for me. It was the only thing I could use without UGH!ing at the features (or lack thereof). Also, it just feels right to me. It used to be free for personal use, but I've ended up purchasing the program now that they've changed their liscensing.
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

Someone here told me about WinSCP (I think it was either arborint or Ambush Commander). That is all I use at work. At home, like I said, it is either Filezilla or FireFTP. But WinSCP is freaking gnarly.
