>>>I use FileZilla to upload our setup files to our website via ftp, but there are lots of problems associated with that program. For one, when the upload gets interrupted, you have to start all over. That can be extremely annoying when you have waited for almost one hour and when the upload is 95% finished it stops and you have to start all over.

>>Jos gave you a great solution. Another one is the program CURL. It's command prompt based and can be spawned in another thread in a batch file which can notify your application when it's completed, by running a program which sends back a message to the thisForm.hwnd, which through BINDEVENT() will trap to your notification algorithm. It can notify on success or failure.

Yes. You'd need to spawn the CURL instance from a process that receives its STDOUT, parses it, and updates the VFP app in real-time. I have one written for 7-Zip which does this, but it is owned by the customer. If you really needed it, I would not mind replicating that code into a FLOSS alternative as an extension of GuiThread. It would take a couple evenings to do though. And you'd have to really want it because I'm kind of focused at the moment. :-)
