Post FTPFileExists and the "eternal hourglass" Reply with quote

Having a bit of trouble with the FTPFileExists
functionality on one server that I use. The function
works great when the file IS there - but when it's not
24x7 stops responding and I get an "eternal hourglass"
of waiting for something to happen.

It takes about 5 to 7 minutes for a result to come
back - it gives the correct answer but takes WAY too
long.

Any suggestions? I've tried the:
Dim( list_var, string )
FTPDir( "server", "user", "pass", "file", list_var )
NotEqual( list_var, "", var )

approach but have the same horrendous delay.

Help?

Try using a passive FTP connection.
Insert FTPConfig( "CONNECTION TYPE, "PASSIVE" ) into the script before other FTP statements.
