Hi,

try this:

    tries: 3
    until [
        set/any 'm try [write
ftp://chuck:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/crossing/ndtd/user.r "hi there"]
        tries: tries - 1
        any [tries = 0 unset? get/any 'm]
    ]

Regards
    Ladislav

however, I cant place a try block around the REBOL write statement because
it does not return anything upon success, thus I get an error that the word
is not bound:
