Are the files on the cleint box or on the server box? If they are on the server I guess you would not need to ftp, just do a download Huh?
If th client has the file and wants the server to supply the list that a bit more that I was thinking, but maybe if ????
I have not done any client side scripting so I'm not sure if this is possible, but I think you can. Just write the com so it dies gracefully. When the com object is called (on the client) one method could send the list to the server (FTP),the server would take the list, display and allow selections, pass selections back to the browser as another page with more client side scripting to call next method of client side com that (ftps) selection back up. If everyone has fast connections and client side scripting can createobject, it should work????
