In that case, you may want to take note of the way that some MLS feeds
distribute images into folders based on the last two digits of the MLS number.
This provides a more even distribution of the files.

That sounds like a limit of the FTP program rather than the server OS. I don't
know if Windows, for example, would have a problem because it uses a different
method of finding files than a *nix system would.

It seems as if it is up to you. Distributing the files across multiple
directories may help but perhaps not in a visible way. However, you will have
more hassles in placing the files in the directories and getting them back out.

I spent 12 years as the manager of an antiquarian bookstore specializing in
children's books (1988-2000). I'm still interested in that field and
occasionally sell books on eBay. I regularly present papers on old children's
series books at the Popular Culture Association and other conferences.
I also teach LAMP-oriented classes (http://www.ITeachPHP.com). These are free
to the students as part of Continuing Education (http://www.sdce.edu).
However, this is part-time work and in the month of March I had a whopping 9
hours on the clock. I sought and found a fulltime job in April which I do in
addition to the teaching. The public portal is (http://www.AccessSanDiego.com)
but there is much more behind the scenes, of course.
