You can download wwIPStuff from the Download corner or my Web site
at http://www.west-wind.com/webtools.htm.
The class is Public Domain and supports FTP send and receive, delete and
directory lists with single method calls. There's no status information
(callback) interface so this might not work for lengthy downloads if you
need visual feedback, but otherwise this about as easy as it gets.

wwIPstuff also contains simple SMTP services (both synchronous and asynch),
Domain name resolution, and HTTP GET retrievals all with single method
interfaces. All of this in a single DLL with a VFP class interface wrapper.

A new version that's already released inside of Web Connection will add
HTTP Post, sending files over HTTP and dialing/hanging up RAS connections.

Hope this helps,
