Single use password for FTP

Hi,

Recently I went to a FTP site which issues single use password, ie you can only use the password to access the FTP site once. For another access, the password would not work and you'll have to request for another password.

So, I used cyberduck and found out that cyberduck actually start another FTP session when I requested a download to be performed. Of course the download session cannot start because the password's already expired. So I had to request for another password, disconnect from the FTP site and start the download, wait for the download to finish, request another password to get into the site again to browse the available files.

Is it necessary for cyberduck to have a new ftp session for download? Can't everything be done in the same session?

Thanks, otherwise love the simplicity of cyberduck though.

Cyberduck opens a new connection to let you keep browsing while the transfer is in progress. An option to use the existing connection is currently missing; see http://trac.cyberduck.ch/ticket/57
