2000+ files in a directory
« on: September 11, 2008, 04:22:10 AM »
I am trying to examine the contents of an ftp directory that holds a lot (3588 in this case) of files. However, in Yummy the number of items shown tops out at 1998. Is this a hard maximum or is there a way to circumvent it and see the other 1590 files as well?

This is a limit set by your server. If it is PureFTPd (as I suspect) the setting in PureFTPD-Manager is in :

Preferences -> Options

Look at Max files, and Max depth

It seems a bit silly to me to have such a limitation, but there you go...

Ohh, never thought of that! Gonna ask the server admin if he can up the number to something a bit more workable.

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!
