Hmmm... still stumped on how to proceed, I'm afraid. Here's the relevant snippet from my script: put "ftp://"& tUser &":"& tPword &"@"& tHost &\ "/"& tDir &"/" into tBaseDestUrl put 0 into tCounter put the number of lines of tFileList into tMaxCount InitProgress "Uploding files...", tMaxCount repeat for each line tDestFile in tFileList add 1 to tCounter put line 1 of tFileList into tDestFile put tBaseDestUrl & tDestFile into tDestUrl doProgress "Uploading file "&tCounter&" of "&tMaxCount, tCounter put url ("file:"&line 1 of tFileList) into url tDestUrl Err the result end repeat My aim is to step through the list of local files in tFileList and upload each, incrementing a progress indicator as each file completes (each file is only a few k, so this level of granularity for the user feedback is okay). Running the script above, the first file transfers fine but I get a socket timeout on the second. I've started down the road of writing my own FTP lib as Andu suggested, but it's a fair amount of work to get it right, as you know. Besides, what's the value of having a libURL if we wind up each rolling our own? I'd much rather contribute to something of shared value, if possible, so Rev/MC developers can spend less time error-checking the nuances of obscure FTP server configurations (does AOL really need to display such a long welcome message?) and more time providing unique, empowering client solutions. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Custom Software and Web Development for All Major Platforms Developer of WebMerge 2.0: Publish any Database on Any Site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
