----
as far as encapsulating an ftp session - i'm sorry - thats not what you were asking originally .
Please note the command line change I made above ...


THERE ARE MANY ways to use ftp in VFP - all centered around encapsulating a control .. There are some good examples with wwIP stuff - take a look there and let me know what you think.

I personally like Mabry's toolset a lot .
