How do you mean the two commands are different?

Look at Options->Virtual FS... and mc.hlp
<< The FTP File System keeps the directory listing it fetches from a
ftp server in a cache. The cache expire time is configurable with
the ftpfs directory cache timeout option. A low value for this
option may slow down every operation on the ftp file System because
every operation is accompanied by a query of the ftp server. >>
but mc.hlp also states that:
<< ... This has the funny behavior that even if you make changes to a
directory, they will not be reflected in the directory listing until
you force a cache reload with the C-r key. >>
wich doesn't seem to be the case.
