>>>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 even do the transfers asynch so I can provide the users with a bytes-transferred count. I can give them progress on sending files to the mainframe because I can get the files size. Unfortunately, I can not do the same on the download because I can not get the file size from the mainframe.
