Know full path on very busy FTP.

Situation:

You know the full path to a folder or file that you want to download, but the FTP is busy-- very busy. Getting 421, up to 24 hours or more.

What I do now:

Set SmartFTP for unlimited retrys. After some time I notice that a connection was established and the remote window displays the folder or file which I would like to download, but the connection has been terminated due to inactivity. Then I click on folder or file and download but have to wait to establish a connection again.

Question:

Is there a way to set SmartFTP to initiate downloading a folder or file with a know full remote path when a connection is first established?
