>WE are currently running a Bluezone mainframe. Right now the user goes into the mainframe and downloads files from the mainframe to their hard drive. Does anyone know of a way I can use vfp 6.0 to automatically perform this action; connect to the mainframe, download the files and disconnect from the mainframe?

I use Rick Strahl's wwIPStuff class to FTP files to and from our mainframe. Works great. Check out http://www.west-wind.com/wwIpstuff.asp
