I think Robert Abram's class can help us to go in the right direction. Basically, this is a problem in my colleague's previous job, but he still wants to solve it.

>MGET is not exactly an FTP command. This is a command of FTP.EXE utility that triggers a certain routine. I may guess this routine uses raw ftp command LIST (or NLIST) to enumerate files on the remote server. Then it calls RETR for each filename matching the mask.

>Behind a single file being uploaded to an FTP server there's always a chain of raw FTP commands sent from local computer to the server. For example:
>
>CWD /mydir/
>TYPE I
>PASV
>STOR myfile.txt
>
>For each raw command received, the server shoots a response back to the client:
>
>250 CWD command successful
>200 Type set to I
>227 Entering Passive Mode [999,999,99,999,99,999]
>125 Data connection already open. Transfer starting.
>226 Transfer complete.

>Once you get "226 Transfer complete" -- that's a confirmation that your upload completed successfully.

>To program this functionality in Visual FoxPro, use FtpCommand along with other WinINet API calls. Another option is using Winsock ActiveX or Winsock API.

>The InternetWriteFile in WinINet allows writing to an open file on remote server. So you may transfer your local file to an ftp server by small portions.
