>I've used the CURL thingy and of course the stuff from WestWind - both of which were fine, however in some cases neither of those will work. If you're trying to connect to an sFTP on a mainframe (in my case it was an AS/400 I think) then neither of those will work. To get around that problem I use WinSCP - which has a built in scripting language - and then I just run the script using RUN/N or oshell.

I have used the blackbox toolkit for that as activeX from vfp) and am pretty sure
I was connected to a mainframe (going by the docs accompanying the project for example)
and had no problem - but WestWind at that time did just not support these protocols.
Was this still a case of protocol not supported or not working implementation ?
If the second, any hints of what went wrong ?
