Thanks, Sergey.

The FTP part is taken care of, then. :) That worked fine. I'm still scratching my head over the crypto stuff. After reading quite a bit of documentation I still don't see how to:

1. Import a public key for use in encrypting a file. I have to use the public key given out by the intended recipient.
2. Actually encrypt a file.

Most of what I am reading appears to be for encrypting streams of data, or strings, or even fields in a table.

The closest thing I have seen are references to digitally signing a file. There is an example of that in the solution.app for _crypto.vcx.

I am considering just using open source GPG for win32 thru an external call from inside fox.
