    Is there a limit to how many files can exist in a directory?

    Is there a limit to how many files can exist in a directory? Specifically, on a server running linux/apache?

    Can you think of any problem having like 300,000 photo files in a single directory?

    I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                  Only problem I've had with too many files in a directory is with FTP, it's sometimes slow to load up the list.
                  .

                      Yeah, I've had that problem before as well.

                              If you are doing images I would try to put them into sub's. That will make searching easier. And ftp programsa will load faster I think.
