More likely its a limit of the ftp server software or the underlying
filesystem than ftp protocol, although you might anticipate timeouts if the
transfering of file listings is over a slow connection. Does the ftp server
have issues with any other storage spaces? Is it just one big directory or
broken down into heirarchy? if the latter, does any particular part seem to
be causing issues?
