I have the same problem that was previously reported in PHPStorm when connecting to FTP in WebStorm 8.0.4.
The error I get: could not display the contents of the ftp://real-meal.com/ folder
Pasive and / or compatibility modes have also been tested. Work with Windows 8.1 x64. Once upon a time, FTP navigation worked in the "Browse Remote Host" menu, but after some playback with options (but restored to the original), it no longer worked.
Here is the log file:
