Just my personal opinion, but I'm not sure I like this ... It is just a personal preference, I do know Ant supports it (but I don't think it's used much) ... I prefer using multiple elements, that way it's easier to add xml comments to each elements. I would rather fix this in the docs ... Ian,

Yeah, I agree we should use an existing (open-source) library. I'm pretty sure ftp will be available in some future revision of the .NET Framework, but that will leave users of other frameworks in the cold, and we wouldn't want that ... Gert - Original Message - From: "Clayton Harbour" <
