Is it possible to use the same client for a
download and at the same time use it to browse
the list contents of an ftp server?

what do you think is the best way of using
an FTP client? Should i better have two clients
instead?

Another thing i was wondering an i found that
using a web browser. I see that a web browser
(for example mozilla firefox) does not stay all the time
connected with the server. In fact whenever i try to
acces the contents of a folder it always says
connecting in it's status bar.
Is this approach better? i mean connect->list->disconnect.
or connect->Get->disconnect.

I use that for the moment because if i connect and stay
inactive for a while the server disconnects me and
somehow the client cannot tell if the connection has
been reset.

As for the downloads i Use a second client.
Do you know if there is anything better to do?
