(was: Too many mistakes) Stefan, The usual trick here is a browser feature to get that to work. They usually have a DIV on the page which contains an FTP:// URI. When you drag the file into the DIV the browsers own FTP support kicks in and uploads the file. I know there are also ActiveX controls people have written for file upload. -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.
