PROBLEM DESCRIPTION or QUESTION

Xshell’s performance degrades and its responsiveness becomes significantly slower when changing directories to a folder with a large number of files.

RESOLUTION

Xshell 7 introduced a “File Manager” to help users manage files in the current directory. If you have an extremely large number of files in a specific folder, Xshell may behave slowly when navigating to that folder. You can disable this feature by checking the "Do not make a File Manager connection" option in the session's properties.
