Slavko,

ASINet is completely useless for FTP -- at least IMNSHO! You can't even 
retrieve a directory listing, and it is (virtually) impossible to do any 
extending or sub-classing of the "FTPClient()" class, as there is no 
(documented) access to any underlying sockets or even a basic command 
sending feature.

You need to get either Marshall Software's FTP Client Engine FCE32 or you 
could use Xb2Net's "XbFTPClient()" class. Both have some advantages and 
some disadvantages, so I use them both.

FCE32 is function-based, so you have to write your own FTP-Client Class, 
if you like to use OOP, but it works well and has all the features that 
you might need. It only supports un-encrypted standard FTP, though.

Xb2Net has a well documented FTP Client Class and supports both standard 
FTP as well as FTPS (Secure FTP) -- it doesn't support SFTP (Secure Shell 
File Transport), though. The main disadvantage of Xb2Net is that it still 
doesn't support Append Mode (which FCE32 handles just fine). There are 
also some other minor issues, but all of them can be worked around.

Both add-on products support passive mode, and if you do not need Append 
Mode -- or if you need to use FTPS -- I would recommend you get Xb2Net. 
It also comes with a bunch of other features, including functions and 
classes to manipulate Sockets, as well as fully fledged HTTP, HTTPS, and 
SOAP Client and Server classes, and much more. It's quite a bit more 
expensive than FCE32, but it's well worth it!

In addition to what Andreas wrote, you might consider using a scriptable,
external FTP-Client like WinSCP (which is free and supports secure
connections as well).

Creating a transfer script via fwrite() or memowrit() and call WinSCP with
the appropriate parameters.

Thanks Andreas, Thomas.
I am trying now to transfer with (PUTTY) pscp.exe, seems to work:

RunShell('/C '+cWrkDir+'pscp.exe -l username -pw password files...
server:.',,.T.,.F.)

Would like to avoid DOS Window.
