The list of retrieved files and folders can also be directly saved to file using the FTPSaveList method of the IFTPListItems collection. It can then be reloaded at a later time using the FTPLoadList method.

HRESULT FTPSaveList ([in] BSTR b_filepath);
HRESULT FTPLoadList ([in] BSTR b_filepath, [out, retval] IDispatch **listitems_pp);

Dim ftplist
Set ftplist = app.FTPGetList("remote", 1)
ftplist.FTPSaveList "c:\\listsave.txt"

Dim ftplist2
Set ftplist2 = app.FTPLoadList("c:\\listsave.txt")
