Tom commented on VFS-304:
-------------------------
Well, it simply is an implementation aspect on either side, so it may very well
be that Afresco's FTP service was improved by now to handle compound paths. I
did report the issue on both sides. If this is not the case (which I assume),
you naturally can try to detect if it's Alfresco you're talking to, or simply
make the behavior configurable. Maybe there are other FTP servers with the same
issue, so it is not a bad thing to have a "careful" mode.
I figure that this question is motivated by performance considerations, but
will replacing (say) 1 CD request with (say) 6 requests really be a big
performance hit compared to the already required requests and the actual
transfer of data?
