The easiest way to build ftp client is by using MSWINSOCK control. Get the RFC's from ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc and get started with coding your own client. The RFC lists the standard commands found on most FTP servers. Among the standard FTP servers are WU.FTPD from washington university. This is the most used ftp server in the world.

>>One of my co-workers is currently working on a project in VB that FTP's to a server and uploads/downloads. He's at lunch at the moment, but when he get's back I'll see if I can snag some code examples from him. He's using the MS Internet Control, which I *BELIEVE* comes with VB. If it doesn't, I'm sure it's a free download from MS. I'll get the details from him when he gets back from lunch. Actualy, I just realized... He went to lunch and didn't ask me if I wanted anything! Grrrr... Well, if I don't kill him first, I'll try to get some code samples from him for you. :)
