I've checked the following ftp-clients: Cute FTP (Windows) FAR filemanager (Windows) FTP Commander (Windows) MS Internet Explorer (Windows) WS FTP (Windows) Fetch (MacOS) Anarchie (MacOS) No problem with listing or such was occured. So I thing we can consider those changes harmless. Or, if we want to be double-sure, we can introduce "-h" for turning on current behaviour and "-h -h" for the new one (do you need the corresponding fetch if this way is more preferable?). SY, Alex
