Hello Gebi, 

Thank you for replying and that's a great answer!  Dan Fandrich got back to me 
earlier with the same information and I'll put it to use. 
However, I did open a ticket for an enhancement.  My understanding is that 
after the SFTP directory listing retrieval, we must issue separate SFTP checks 
for each file, which could probably be improved. 
I opened an issue to see if a new flag could be used to send back the file name 
bundled with the files other attributes. 

Best Regards,

Mike Loutris
