not all files showing in ftp

i'm working on a site that has ~2000 images in one folder.
all the images are on the server,but in ftp i see a though to the start of s and Thumbs.db.
is there some limitation that i'm not aware of.
tried other ftp clients.
server:shared hostgator

 

which ftp tool you are using now?

 

I think it would take some time to load all the files,just be patient.

 

it's realy 2500.it shows 1998 files(1995 are .gif) in the ftp client.
i use cuteftp.i downloaded FileZilla and smartftp and saw the same thing.
it's not loading.it will just show upto a certain image.
if i delete one,the next image will showup.

 

try web ftp

Mostly FileZilla should work, but might be in ur case its not working..

 

my cuteftp doesn't show commands(dont know where that option is ) ,so looked at smartftps and it gave '226 Output truncated to 2000 matches'

 

I mean u just input your server detail, username, password in either of these URLs, and you get your server file listing there on the browser.

Its FTP tool on the web..

i happy using a client.
not very safe anyway.

 

you can download of your own too and install on your own server..

see Download link there

the same.i didn't think there would be anything different.
i don't want to ask hostgator,so anybody...

 

Many times its happend that FTP clients are not showing all the files / images when you have more number of files / images on FTP.

If you are searching for any perticular file then find on FTP and in find it will show you file. In cuteftp you can also list (find by name) certain files / images.

 

Ther best solution is to categorize and clean it up as the FTP clients have limits...best is to put it in a folder categorized

 

The ftp config file on the server is set to show 2000 files.
Either you or your server admin has to change it to show more.
Mine is set to 20,000 files.

 

Sorry to restart this thread after several days but I myself have just ran into this limitation with the same aforementioned host. I am uploading several thousand files per directory and am also getting the "output truncated to 2000 matches" response in FileZilla. I know I can't see the files through the FTP view but does anyone know if this will actually have any adverse affects on my site's performace? I really don't care if I can see the files via FTP as long as I know they're there and accessible by my site visitors.

Any insight is greatly appreciated

 

I know it's way too late - but I just faced this issue now and I wrote this small php code and ran it on the browser to see the file count...

<?php
// CountFiles.php
$d = dir("./");
$n = 0;
while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
   if($entry != "." && $entry != "..") $n++;
}
$d->close();

echo "<p>There are <b>$n</b> files present in the folder now...</p>";
?>

PHP:

Hope this helps

 

Still helps me, so thanks!
