OK, this is driving me nuts. It has taken me 3x longer to ftp files all day today because WS_FTP stays in the "Expanding folders" status for so long before it actually starts ftp'ing. I understand it is probably calculating the size of the entire bunch of files I am moving, but I would like to disable that "feature" because it slows everything down so much. Is this possible? I ended up downloading a trial of CuteFTP and got so much more done far faster because it doesn't do this calculation.

How do you turn that off?

Thanks,
Christine

Due to the "expanding folders" problem, I have stopped using WS FTP Pro when trying to copy down whole file systems. I use Filezilla instead for this sort of operation. I am using WS FTP Pro less and less because of this one problem. You don't want to use two ftp clients. You just want the one. When filezilla grows up a little more I will probably switch lock, stock and barrel.

Wow, I posted this in 2006 and assumed it would be fixed by now. I had been thinking of switching back to WS_FTP from CuteFTP, but I guess I won't be doing that now!

CuteFTP has excellent performance btw, so you may want to try it out.
