Package: gftp
Version: 2.0.18-5
Severity: important

gftp sometimes misses many files and sub-directories when copying files.

To reproduce:
1. Launch gftp, connect to remote host. (I used ssh2.)
2. Select local directory with many subdirs and files.  Ex: ~/.firefox
3. Copy selected directory to remote system.
4. Again copy selected directory to remote system (different location) with scp 
-r ~/.firefox [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp.
5. Notice large discrpancy in files transferred.  gftp omits files and
subdirs. 

Simpler test to reproduce:
1. Launch gftp.  Select local directory with many subdirs and files.  Ex: 
~/.firefox
2. Hit your Delete key.
3. gftp asks, "Are you sure you want to delete these 10 files and 4 directories"
4. Use your favorite tool to count the many files and subdirectories not
seen by gftp.

Thanks!
