>Cyrus, I have used the Chilkat controls for FTP (and other) work and (1) the products are great, (2) stable, (3) value for money, (4) detailed error reporting from the control, (5) great support and help, and most important (6) they give many examples in VFP. You would be up and running in 30 minutes or less with Chilkat because you can just copy/paste/amend their examples.

You are absolutely right. I actually have their sFTP module, and love it. But that for some reason only allows 9 connections (file exists tries).
I was just thinking about getting their FTP module as well. I also have the West Wind wwStuff from Rick. Which is great as well.
But the wwFTP module in that package, has crashing issues running on couple Server 2012 systems.

Anyway I just got the WinINet code for Directory Listing to work. So, I am good.
Thanks a bunch.
