VFS issues a lot of FTP commands when listing a directory

                 Key: VFS-307
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-307
             Project: Commons VFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Mario Ivankovits


Hello Mario,
 
We at JetBrains are implementing support for (S)FTP sync in our IDEs using 
Commons VFS. When looking at the performance, we noticed that FTP provider is 
somewhat not perfect: see my discussion with Ralph. 
 
So the question is: why FtpClientWrapper changes the current directory to issue 
'LIST' command and restoring it back afterwards instead of issuing single 'LIST 
<relpath>'? 
 
Subversion says it was you who introduced this behavior far back in 2008. Hope 
you remember those times and reason why you did this.
 
Thanks a lot in advance,
