Because Thumbnails mode in FTP locations is disabled, means you are not supposed to fetch previews for files there.  
While you still can enable Viewer Pane. When it's enabled, image files are loaded after a 70 seconds delay. 700KB, 500KB all had similar delay.  
Sometimes smaller ones are loaded quickly. (120KB ones are quick, and 150KB are slow)

Here is seems same problem reported many many years ago. But without any response.

` **CloseFile NO FD_CLOSE Response from Server** ` usually means the other end didn't close the data connection properly, which causes a long delay waiting for the closure to happen.
