Hi Ken

I was just referring to the first paragraph of my email.
Without the -x option, nothing works at all, since the list -CF returns 
nothing, independently of the content of the directory.


The connection reset and double LIST are other topics, that I didn't 
have problems with. Back then, I was just wondering why the code is the 
way it is.
