When connecting to a FTP server the frst thing the program does is collect the directoy list, then collect file names. I'd like to see a way to tell the program to NOT collect certain directories. I've got wone web site with over 3gb of files in directories that I know hasn't been touched in 6 months, and there's no need to spend time collecting the info on those files.

    Over 15 hours later it's still computing hashes.

    Ignoring directories is not as easy as it looks. There are many cases when you need this information (e.g. deleting directories which contain ignored sub-directories). But I agree, it is not perfect yet.

    And...
    Using a hash sync over FTP is not a good idea. All files have to be downloaded first, and only then the hash sums can be computed.
