Multi Thread FTP
Is it possible to create a program to do multi-thread FTP upload? From what I understand about Revolution Studio, everything is single thread.

Re: Multi Thread FTP
Hi Warren, Revolution is single-threaded. However, are you sure that you need multi-threading? I'm asking this because you can use callbacks with various internet actions in Rev, and this kind of event-based interactivity might be sufficient. There's a very good presentation by John Ousterhout (the man who designed Tcl/Tk) that puts forward a very effective case for event-based processing instead of multi-threaded processing (bottom line: only a small percentage of programmers are capable of writing working multi-threaded code). If you still need more than the event-based processing provided by callbacks, then you could look at Mark Smith's libRevCurl. I referred to it a couple of days back in a discussion on the list about getting round the fact that the POST action of Rev's internet library does not work with callbacks. Mark's library will make calls to the CURL executable, and such calls will all be independent of each other and will exploit the OS capacity for multi-processing.

Re: Multi Thread FTP
Bernard, Thanks for your feedback. I will check out libRevCurl. I was looking for a way to open up multiple ftp connections and uploading html pages. Hopefully this Mark Smith's libRevCurl will point me in the right direction.

Re: Multi Thread FTP
Warren, there's the beginnings of ftp support in libRevCurl, but because that hasn't been what my own need is, I haven't really developed it. I'll take a look and see how poor it is!
