Well, make sure the Search in field is correct and also that all the attributes' chcekboxes are grey (half-checked) and only the directory checkbox ist fully checked (white).

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Hmmm..., I have found no problems. Please try again. I will write what I do:
Run Find File (Alt+F7)
1. In search for type _ , but eventually try *_* and see if it changes anything.
2. In search In field type the root directory wghere you want to perform searching: (for example it can be root folder of C: which is C:\)
3. In Advanced tab mark "Attributes" and mark Directory (click twice so that checkbox appears next to the "Directory") and leave other attributes untouched = gray = ignore these attributes.

What do you get in a result? If error still remains describe what dirs are found and give a couple or dirs that were not found.

I was thinking those were going to search for files aswell.

It works perfectly well now!

Gray means "don't care", while unchecked means that the attribute _must not_ be present. Most of your dirs probably have the "archive" attribute, though, so they will not be found.
