If I could automate this it would be better.

See the discussion with Mervyn. Also, if you want it done automatically,
that's what the example in the program is about, rather than the form.
The form is meant to emulate an FTP client such as FileZilla, the
program "TestFTP.prg" is one that again you need to open in the source
editor, read the comments, and fill in the information required ...

It is possible (I've asked Mervyn to look at this) that maybe the
activex isn't properly registered on your machine, I don't know why it
wouldn't be, the install of dBASE *should* have done that, but it's the
only thing I can figure.
