>Here is my problem. I currently have 2 clients doing automated file transfers to my DNS server late at night. Their connections are so bad that some nights the file does not get transferred and I get called early am.

>I am currently using the command lines with WS_FTP Pro for this and it works fine as long as the connect stays pretty constant. What I need is to create an interface that will reconnect to my FTP server if the connection is lost (not the dial up connection, but that would be nice to) and start the "resume" process. The process of reconnecting would then happen for a certain number of times (set by user) or until the file is done transferring.

Check out the free wwIPStuff class at http://www.west-wind.com (look under Shareware and Visual FoxPro Internet Tools). If the wwIPStuff can't do what you need, another option might be to use an ActiveX control. I know of two, one at http://www.eurosource.com for $12 US and another at http://www.mabry.com for $40. I haven't actually used any of these yet (I found them while looking for an email program) but if they follow after the email controls the eurosource controls are simpler to use but the mabry controls allow more flexability.
