2. set different initial folder when you connecting to FTP in FTP client
configuration.
To get file, doubleclick it. PSpad FTP client is projected to edit text file,
not for binary file transfer. I don't know your file content.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Even if I set the initial folder something other than /met/le, I need to
navigate to this folder to select a file from this folder. In this case also,
pspad ftp client is executing a ls command on this folder which takes time to
display the results. The files that I am trying to download are all ascii files
only.

This is the only limitation that I am seeing in pspad  which doesn't allow me to
use pspad as my primary editor. My first preference for the text editor is
Editplus, but it not a freeware. So, I am using syn text editor
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/syn/) as my primary text editor even though it
has some minor drawbacks when compared to Editplus or Pspad. Both Editplus and
Syn allows me to open a file from the FTP site with out doing a 'ls' on the
directory.
 
Thanks,
Balaji.
