Dear Midnight Commander list,

I have a question regarding this message: "Waiting to retry... %d
(Control-G to cancel)". I got it today, it was waiting for 30 seconds,
then 29, ..., and I interrupted it. I was connecting by FTP to my
server, and maybe pressed Enter more times than needed, not sure.

I have searched the file in this matter, it is
mc-4.8.29/src/vfs/ftpfs/ftpfs.c, line 997.

I don't understand what might have happened and what are the conditions
in which this message would appear.

I am a C++ programmer, but not accustomed to the Midnight Commander
code.

My concern is the security of my password to my server.
