the fuse fs does to read the direntries a new call to get the contents of a directory, everytime. Now - cause ftp is known for the fact that contents do not change much - I'm looking for a way to determine a directory on a server has changed. On local filesystems, the attributes of the directory is changed when an entry is added or removed. Is there a way to get the attributes of a directory with one single call?
Not reliably, no. The MLSD command (rfc3659) is probably the closest you can get, but I don't think that command can be expected to be present even on 90% of the world's ftp sites.
Futher right now I'm using the curl easy interface, I'm curious the multi interface offers some extra abilities?
Not in the way of providing more ftp properties etc, but certainly in the way of providing a different and non-blocking interface to do transfers.
