Does browsing in a FTP site use your downstream bandwith?

ok recently i have been billed for my internet cable services and it was beyond 200...due to the fact i have passed my monthly quota of 4 gigs/month and i havent download anything but FXP

i've been wondering if listing in directories and login in FTP makes you download and use your download bandwith.

cause when i look at it it shows me i am sorta

like when i browse in directories it shows me in my status window

List Complete: 1 KB in 0.65 (1.24 KBps)

List Complete: 9 KB in 0.79 (9.29 KBps)


etc.....

does that mean im actually downloading something?
