I am using CuteFTP v1.8 (sorry, I like it).
One annoying matter is that it hides older files in a remote directory (it seems no mater what the directory is) from displaying in the right panel. Log:

COMMAND:> CWD db
250 OK. Current directory is /public_html/db
COMMAND:> pwd
257 "/public_html/db" is your current location
COMMAND:> TYPE A
200 TYPE is now ASCII
STATUS:> Retrieving directory listing...
COMMAND:> PORT 192,168,1,40,7,9
200 PORT command successful
COMMAND:> LIST
150 Connecting to port 53977
226-Options: -a -l
226 10 matches total
STATUS:> Received 666 bytes Ok.
STATUS:> Time: 0:00:01, Efficiency: 0.65 KBytes/s (666 bytes/s)
STATUS:> Done.

But although it says "10 matches total", it only displays 1 file. 9 older files do not show up.

I figured out that the "deadline" is 180 days, i.e. files older than 180 days are not listed in CuteFTP.

Furthermore, directories containing only old files don't show up as well.

When I renew a file, i.e. when I upload it again, then the file becomes visible again. And the directory that contains it becomes visible again.

I used WS_FTP to check it -- WS_FTP acts like this:

Files less than 180 days old have their date&time listed this way:
"1061130 21:15" for Nov.30,2006, i.e. normal UNIX way.

However, files older than 180 days are listed this way:
"061030 00:00" for Oct.30,2006.

The difference is that the dates of the old files lack the initial "1", and the times are all nullified.

Here is how WS_FTP lists remote dir files, see the difference between new and old:

I have extracted directory info, and it said:

Weird: for the files older than 180 days, year is given in the time column. What's up?

Anybody can help?
Tnx.
