I've had this for quite a while and cannot find any reason for it.
Basically I connect to an FTP server using a standard FTP account (PASV, port 21).
Everything is fine, however if I want to refresh the currently viewing folder by pressing F5 Directory Opus immediately changes the current folder to /tmp, and I have to use the back button to navigate back to the folder I was actually viewing.
The server is a CentOS 6 Apache server - if that makes any difference, however, I do get this folder with every standard FTP account I have. If I change and use an FTP over SSH connection I do not have this refresh issue.
When I press F5 in an FTP server folder (doesn't matter where) it changes the current directory to /tmp on the FTP server.
The folder tree changes with the refresh. It jumps to the tmp folder as mentioned above and the folder tree collapses the FTP listing down to the root folder.
It's interesting thing there is that the "www" dir from the first screenshot is completely gone from the tree in the second.
That suggests something happened to make Opus think the www dir wasn't there anymore, and it then went to the next dir up in the tree ("tmp").
Is there anything relevant in the second sceenshot's FTP log before the 150 Accepted data connection line?
It might be worth turning on the FTP log debug mode, so we can also see the commands that Opus is sending to the FTP server:
(The screenshot shows the Default Settings being edited, but note that the individual site entry may override the Log settings, if configured that way.)
I think I know why www disappeared on refresh. It's not really a folder, it's a symlink (I think that's right) that points to the actual folder public_html.
Below is the FTP log after changing to the WWW folder, and then refreshing with F5:

257 "/www" is your current location

If the problem only happens with symlinks, I wonder if changing this setting to "folders" will help?
(As with the previous setting, the screenshot shows the defaults but individual sites may be set to override it, so it's worth checking both the defaults, at the top of the list, and the entry for the site itself.)
