Number of open files (Dir's) how to close?
I am having a client/server application which will download files from server. If server has directories, it will create directories/sub directories and then download files. In this process, I observed that number of open files are more than 400 (which is approxmately same as number of dir/subdir that I downloaded from server) using "lsof -p pid" command. The o/p of lsof command has "DIR" Type files with file descriptor as "Read".
I did't understand why the Type "DIR" is in read mode. Under what conditions it will take place?

TFTPD(8) System Manager's Manual TFTPD(8)
NAME
tftpd - DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol server
SYNOPSIS
tftpd [ directory ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Tftpd is a server which supports the DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol. The TFTP server operates at the port indicated in the ``tftp''
service description; see services(5). The server is normally started by inetd(8).
The use of tftp does not require an account or password on the remote system. Due to the lack of authentication information, tftpd will
allow only publicly readable files to be accessed. Files may be written only if they already exist and are publicly writable. Note that
this extends the concept of ``public'' to include all users on all hosts that can be reached through the network; this may not be appropri-
ate on all systems, and its implications should be considered before enabling tftp service. The server should have the user ID with the
lowest possible privilege.
Access to files may be restricted by invoking tftpd with a list of directories by including pathnames as server program arguments in
/etc/inetd.conf. In this case access is restricted to files whose names are prefixed by the one of the given directories.
