Disabling "Listing directory"

Hi Folks,

Is there a way to diable the "listing directory" process upon connection? I'm trying to upload files to a blind dropbox, but I get a timeout IO error because once I log in successfully CyberDuck attempts to list the directory, which it cannot. My connection then becomes idle. Suggestions? Apologies if this has been discussed before -- I couldn't turn it up on a search.

Thanks.

Yes, this isn't that obvious at all. In the the 'Transfers' tab in the Preferences there is an option to select what to do on duplicate files. By default it is set to 'Ask' which means you are presented with a dialog asking for confirmation before overwriting duplicate files. To get this working Cyberduck first gets a directory listing from the server to look for existing files. Therefore to workaround this problem use the 'Overwrite' option for duplicate files.

Thanks for the tip -- unfortunately that isn't working. I follow your logic, but you know I'm not even getting to the point where I can upload the file. There's still a "listing directory" status displayed while I'm trying to log in, and when it can't do so I get the same timeout IO error message.

Thanks for the follow-up. I will have a look at this issue.
