Interesting discussions... I'll come back to that later.

But in the meantime:

FTP4DOS v1.1.0 is out!

  • New feature: Self-Update function
    • Downloads latest binaries from GitHub
    • Optional automatic update check (opt-in)
    • Updates are cryptographically signed using RSA-2048, preventing man-in-the-middle attacks and compensating for the lack of HTTPS support on retro platforms

Download here:
https://github.com/Projanglez/FTP4DOS/releases/tag/v1.1.0

It is expected but I'm telling anyway: this new version still fails to load the remote server pane after a successful connection on my PC. There is no error message only an empty blue pane and an <empty> label at the status area.

Yes, I can confirm your problem - it's due to insufficient conventional memory.
I tried to eat various amounts of RAM using RAMDRIVE.SYS, and found when FTP4DOS begins to fail:

Memory Type        Total       Used       Free
---------------- -------- -------- --------
Conventional 640K 162K 478K
Upper 0K 0K 0K
Reserved 384K 384K 0K
Extended (XMS) 64,512K 68K 64,444K
---------------- -------- -------- --------
Total memory 65,536K 614K 64,922K

Total under 1 MB 640K 162K 478K

Largest executable program size 478K (489,472 bytes)
Largest free upper memory block 0K (0 bytes)
MS-DOS is resident in the high memory area.

In 2003, I voted in favour of joining the European Union. However, due to later developments - especially the restrictions on cash usage - I have withdrawn my support. DOWN WITH THE EU!

Thanks!
Yep, as I said before I only have about ~450 KB free conventional memory after both network stacks are loaded.
