>I have a sinking feeling that this may be a lost cause.

When I wrote the FTP utility for my company, I went through three controls (aka, 2 lost causes) and ended up with Marby's FTPx (which I dunno if it can use the progress bar or not, still something I gotta look at).

I don't like how the Marby control works or how its supported. Plus I get more C5 errors than we can count. But for now its working...

I remember looking at the File Size on disk, which was usually 0 :-(

Thats Egger, and nope, wwIPStuff it "West-Wind IPSTuff" so its Rick Strahl's.

wwIPStuff's FTP subclass is a wrapper for that DLL, AFAIK. Haven't looked at the code in a while.
