Command line: preventing initial LIST command

Post by misslexi »

Anyone know of a way to stop CoreFTP (CoreCmd) from issuing the LIST command when it first connects to a server? I'm running this from the command line (or a .cmd file) and just want to grab a file if it's there. If the folder has lot's of files in it, time is waisted cataloging the folder with LIST.

That choice is available as you suggested. When I turn off LIST though I get an error Can't open destination file. If I turn LIST back on, it works fine. This is a download from an AS400 ftp server to an XP PC. Perhaps it needs the LIST command to retreive the attributes of the file in order to properly create it on the local host.

I'd like to try that but not sure how to get that build. I'm using v1.3c build 1447.6.
