Thanks Jochem, <sigh> I was afraid of this... Can you recommend a good packetsniffer for windows? I've not been able to get much utility out of the few I've tried... They've either been so cryptic that I couldn't figure out how to work them or they didn't seem to provide enough filtering control. I don't actually administer the ftp server -- so I'd have to install a copy of it on my machine and look at it here, though I'm pretty certain it's a free server, I'd just have to find out from my host where he picked it up. Though looking at the documentation for the FTP protocol it looks like errorcode 250 is intended to indicate success, so I suspect whoever created the ftp server may have muddled the existsDir response in such a fashion that it returns the returnvalue in both the returnvalue and succeeded variables. I decided to interpret any 250 response as a success regardless of the value of cfftp.succeeded. Not sure if that's the wisest decision. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
