Hi Terry:

You might want to look at the FTPCLASS sample in the Files Section here on UT. We looked at WestWind and Mabry as well as the NetLib FTP stuff and found Mabry very fast, couldn't get WW stuff to do what we wanted (too little time to debug our mistake -- I know it wasn't Rick's) and the NetLib FTP stuff pretty slow. The FTPCLASS class lib uses WinInet.Dll which I think is what you are referring to in your message. Its not really fast, but since its on virtually every Win9x & NT machine its free and doesn't require any OCX registrations, licensing, etc. For us it was the easiest approach, until performance becomes an issue...

HTH
