| The //Use MLSD command for directory listing// controls, if WinSCP uses ''MLSD'' or (deprecated) ''LIST'' command for directory listing and ''MLST'' or ''SIZE''/''MDTM'' for retrieving file properties ((Falling back to ''LIST'', if ''SIZE'' or ''MDTM'' is not supported.)). When set to //Auto// (preferred), WinSCP decides based on announced features of FTP servers. Use //Off// only, if server's implementation of ''MLSD''/''MLST'' command has bugs; or if you need to display [[ui_file_panel#special_files|hidden files]] and your FTP server does not include them into ''MLSD'' listing. | The //Use MLSD command for directory listing// controls, if WinSCP uses ''MLSD'' or (deprecated) ''LIST'' command for directory listing and ''MLST'' or ''SIZE''/''MDTM'' for retrieving file properties ((Falling back to ''LIST'', if ''SIZE'' or ''MDTM'' is not supported.)).

| When set to //Auto//, WinSCP will try one time to use the ''-a'' switch, unless the server is known not to support it((Personal FTP server.)). If that fails (for whatever reason), it stops using the switch for current session. Some servers may not report an error even if they do not support the switch. This may result into empty directory listing. Disable the option if that happens. The option is not available, if ''MLSD'' command is used for directory listing, see above. | When set to //Auto//, WinSCP will try one time to use the ''-a'' switch, unless the server is known not to support it((Personal FTP server.)).
