I don't know why you need blocking mode, but I believe that in blocking mode your program stops until the network operation in progress ends. Also, in blocking mode, if the "other end" becomes unavailable, you'll have to kill your app (which is dead anyways... ;)). Non-blocking mode is a bit more complicated to program, but it eliminates the pause that occurs in blocking mode. The application continues processing while waiting for the network operation to complete, and the progress of operations may be monitored in a loop.


>Hello all,

>Time is running out for me to find a Secure FTP control that I can use in VFP 6! (If necessary I can recompile this app into any newer version) I have tried the WeOnlyDo! product and as far as I have been able to see, it will not work with VFP while in (what they call) the 'blocking' mode (which is what I need). If anyone has used this control successfully using the blocking mode could you help me out? The problem that I see is that none of the events fire when in blocking mode, so you can't use the events to make things happen.
