Yes, at least an (easily reachable) experts/advanced/ settings dialog about:config-style would be the best approach.
It should be available at least through a button somewhere in settings and not some sort of "guessable" access.
However, the cache TTL, I believe, is worth to have in GUI settings as it affects many users. Another textbox won't be noticeably slow down the settings dialog, it has hundreds of controls already. For me it opens in less than 1/3 of the second and my computer is not new (6+ years old).
As to new vs. old config files - if I hadn't asked in the forum, I wouldn't have known the existence of this new feature/option, which was the critical one for me that made FZ much much more acceptable and now I actually use it as my main FTP client .
