>>Hi Ed:

>>I also recently experimented with Robert's FTP_Class and found it easy to use. I have previously experimented with file downloads from a host inside our firewall, and was dismayed to find that they arrived with file attributes set of system/hidden/read-only! I was just about to write to Robert, but found a later version of FTP_Class here in the files section & it now works okay. I have not yet experimented with uploads to the external host box. You might try downloading the latest version of FTP_Class from here and see if that helps.

>>My only other concern is that the downloads seem to take an excessive amount of time ( 4-1/2 min for 1.2 MB ). My current FP-DOS app which shells out to run the Novell FTP command in DOS takes about 1/10th of that time... Probably because it has no Windows overhead and other windows trash to deal with... We have found similar bottlenecks with Rumba-FTP under Windows, so I may have to just live with it that way.

Thanx for the feedback. Good luck.
