Michael,

Have you looked in the Download section of this forum at the:

'GenLoader - a WSH Loader Script Wizard ' posted 4/21/2001. Maybe the code can be altered to check an ftp site rather than a server.

HTH,

Bill



>We're considering using an auto-update function for a VFP application. I'm expecting this would be a small stub file that checks for an update from a web or ftp site by checking file dates. It could then warn that there is an update available so the user can confirm, the download would be completed, and the new exe would be run.
