Providing detailed logs is very difficult as the client is NBC in the U.S. As I have mentioned in previous posts some months ago I am interfacing to an Avid iNEWS newsroom server and polling by using the dirAsync command sent every 3 seconds.
I also mentioned previously that I have modified the FTP Client to download to a String rather than a file or a Stream. This was to try an eliminate any disk activity when getting directory listings or files. If I ditch the "Download to String" idea and download to a stream, can I do this without having any disk activity. Is the stream created in memory or on the disk. Looking at the code it requires a filename so I assume it is on the disk. I don't have much experience of using streams, so any guidance would be appreciated. I would like to know if this is possible before I embark on a learning experience to no avail.

I had a cheap Netgear router a long time ago that broke repeated LIST commands.

No. I've had every different version of the FTP client and server components in use daily for several years, with no long term 'occasional problems'. There may have been short term problems in new beta versions which were fixed within a few days.
