>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.

Do you suggest to use socket protocol to redo a FTP protocol instead of using a FTP OCX?
