Really? It worked for me... but I'm on Linux. Try it with 'trace/net on' trace/net on DstFile: ftp://usr:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/log.txt SrcFile: ftp://usr:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/log.bak text: read/lines DstFile if exists? SrcFile [delete SrcFile] rename DstFile SrcFile foreach line text [ write/append DstFile join line newline ] So if you do that to a small file (just 2-3 lines), what does the trace show is happening?
