Jim, Using Windows XP.
The question is not about checking whether or not the file was transferred correctly. I'm already comparing the sizes before and after. The question is about reliability and predictability. Is there any reason to expect differences in foreground vs background ftp'ing? Thanks.

You did not say what operating system you are using. If Rev only solution, try using one of the following or both approaches: if there is a file (path and filename) ..dnld began if there is a file (url binary:/path and filename) .. upload began set the defaultfolder to (path) put the detailed files into fileList --check item 5 of the line of the file you want to track for size change. Perhaps getting the file size on the ftp server would allow size check ------------------------------------- A different approach is to set the log field of the process and monitor the messages posted there. use libUrlSetLogField, making careful note of the syntax required <you may need to check the syntax since I cannot break in to my Rev which is running a critical program at the moment> Jim Ault Las Vegas _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
