How many OSes (ex. Win 95, 98, ME, etc.) include the FTP.EXE? If they
all do it could prove to be useful for VDS applications.  _________________ FreezingFire

OK Wait... why does the forum make FTP.EXE into a link automatically?  _________________ FreezingFire

Not sure why it turns into a link like that. I added spaces on mine to
keep it from being a link.
Remember, VDS 5 allows access to other dlls, so you can use dlls
that are already part of the windows system to access ftp.
There's a small ftp example included with VDS 5 that shows you how
to use wininet.dll which I believe is on every version of windows. But!
I'm not sure about 2k and XP.

You can keep it from becoming a link by putting [ COLOR ] tags around
the name:

The forum probably converts it to a link because it assumes that it's an URL on an FTP server as it starts with
ftp and has a filename extension - ftp://somefile.exe

Very nice... except VDS 5 isn't out yet! How long has it been since we heard that VDS 5 would be out within "several days or weeks" at the most? Was it March? I think so.  _________________ "ah, come take my hand... we're ridin' out tonight to face the promised land"

If you watch films at all (The Matrix) you might think this was a bad idea.....
Maybe they are writing the dll that sucks the electrical charge from your body into the national grid in order to sell it back to the electrical companies...
I just re-read that line, and I sound like a strung out sci-fi lovin, coffee overdosing idiot....please ignore.

I thought that's why all of us were at this forum! Have I been at the
wrong forum all this time?!
