FTP - reusing data connections

Hi there,

This may be a stupid question, but...
Is it possible to use one data connection channel initiated on a FTP server for sending multiple commands (LIST, NLST, MLSD)?

Thanks in advance!

I believe FTP uses the data connection close as EOF on each list or file solicited on the control connection, so it is a lot to look for http/1.1 persistent connection behavior from it.

Why the connection cheapness?
