I'm not sure how to get around this using the ITC.

You can do all of this stuff yourself using the InternetOpen, InternetOpenURL, and InternetReadFile functions in WinInet.dll these are docuemented in MSDN and at MSDN online at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/networking/wininet/reference/reference.asp

The easiest alternative is to use Rick Strahl's wwIPStuff class, which encapsulates this functionality for you. your task will be as easy as writing a few lines of code:

oIP = CREATEOBJECT("wwIPstuff")
lcFile = oIP.HTTPGet("http://ftp.whatever.com/myfile.dbf")
=STRTOFILE(lcFile, "myfile.dbf")

You can get wwIPstuff here in the files section, or on Rick's website at www.west-wind.com.

>>lcFileString = ""
>>FOR i = 1 TO ALEN(laFileArray)
>> lcFileString = lcFileString + CHR(laFileArray[i])
>>ENDFOR
>>
>>STRTOFILE(lcFileString, "c:\SomeBinaryFile.dbf")
>>

>>The variable that the function returns when you pass in 1 as the second parameter is actually a VFP array. Its values are numeric, and all oyuhave to do is translate them into their characters with CHR().
