IE 8/9, FF cannot display a folder with ~19k files

Post by idontknow »

Hi guys!

I'm using Wing FTP Server v4.0.8 on a Linux 64bit System.
When I try to display a folder with ~19k files (all of them are .csv files) via WingFTP-Webclient, the Internet Explorer (Version 8 and 9) and the Firefox (v14.01) crashes -> Not Responding (Client OS is Windows 7).
It only works with the newest version of Chrome. Unfortunately, our customer need this functionality at least with the Internet Explorer.

Is there any solution on this topic?

Because web browser should use Javascript to handle parsing XML content and sorting, when you have so many files, it will be hard to handle for your computer.

If you want to list so many files, I suggest you use FTP client software to handle it.
