 Stat -l is alot faster then just stat, also when using just stat its list
 all directories/files in the console that also makes listing dirs with
 alot of dirs/files very slow.

 Use STAT -l to listing directory
 Popular FTP servers already support "STAT -l" command to transferring dir
 list via control channel, for example glFTPD, raidenFTPD, microsoft FTPD,
 ProFTPD and PureFTPD. without create new connection to server the FTP
 client retrieves the directory information from control channel to saving
 time, It's very fast.
