my ftp experience lies exclusively in gui (cute_ftp - without scripting)
and as/400, so i thought '(replace' was standard.  i could fill a book with
the things i don't know ;)

to make it backwards-compatible, an extra *nopass parameter defaulting to
replace?  the problem would be that FTPapi default would be the opposite of
the as400 client default (if not specified, replace vs. don't replace).  it
would probably be more confusing than useful.

thanks again,
