STAT listing
do you have any plans to add a option to use STAT listing instead of LIST
It is certainly an option. What do you use it for mostly? Listing while transferring because you have no more logins, or, checking on progress on current transfers?
mostly just for speed as its quite abit faster to list in a already established connection, and sometimes the remote end doesn't have passive mode setup properly, so you have to either open ports on your end or use stat listing
stat -al uses the ftp control connection for transferring the dirlist... so it doesn't need to PORT or PASV etc... which usually results in a faster dirlist and obviously faster dirlist might be very usefull in some situations where uploading as much files as soon as possible is wanted ;-)
I made an attempt on implementing stat -al in a fork of fxp.one: https://github.com/zut45k/FXP.One
The engine was modified to support stat -al, USE_STAT is added in siteprefs and I modified the webclient to support use_stat in the siteconfig.
