The main image library on my website has a significant amount of photos, and every time a new file is transferred to that folder, it does a List before the transfer, and then again afterwards.
The list can take 60 seconds to download and process.
Is there a way to disable the before and after list command? I just need it to transfer the file, I don't care about overwriting, and don't need the content listing.

Hello ...
My guess is that SmartFTP does a directory listing to get the file size/time because your FTP server doesn't support the SIZE or MDTM command. But a log would certainly bring more light into this. It's very unusual that FTP servers do not support those commands.

Thank you very much for the input. Below is a log from connecting to the FTP server to that directory, and uploading 1 file (the directory probably has ~30,000 images in there). It does a directory listing twice, which takes 12 seconds just to download, and another 45-60 seconds once the download is complete and SmartFTP runs the processor at 100% CPU to process the names. If it could just transfer (even as an option) without listing, all would be good.
If there are any changes I should make to the FTP server, I can absolutely do that as well.
