FTP Client that can handle tons of files

    I originally posted this in the wrong section and only realised when i saw all similar threads were posted here so have copied and pasted:

    I started using filezilla until it refused to show me all my files....

    I then started using WinSCP however i have one folder which contains over 90,000 files (small ones) prob is, every time i try to open the folder to access the files the ftp client dies

    Any recommendations?

    Do you must use GUI client? Maybe you can try command line ftp?

    You can try CuteFTP or FlashFXP, however these aren't free programs.

    I used SmartFTP Client that can handle big volumes of files upload to host.

    SmartFTP will limit the showing of files in a directory to 3000.

    That's insane ... :eek:

    Perhaps with some PHP for example you could create subdirectories and then move files to them.

    Filezilla wont handle that many files

    The files are created automatically to the folder in question, meaning i just cant open the damn thing up :(

    Insane? Yeh sounds about right lol - I give up with it for now

    CuteFTP does support high number of files in one directory. Give it a try!
