Re: Complete FTP session from a CL program

Hi Buck,

A few questions, if you don't mind being put on the spot?

1) How are errors handled? One of the biggest draws of FTPAPI is the
    ability to handle any error that can occur.   Does this have
    similar capabilities?

2) How does it determine things like binary vs. ascii mode?   or
    active vs. passive mode?  or character translation tables?

3) Where does logging of session go?

Thanks...

P.S. I had considered creating a command called "fetch", which accepts a
   URI as an argument.  If it's an FTP URI, it would use routines from
   FTPAPI, if it's an HTTP URI, it would use routines from HTTPAPI.
   Perhaps your program could be a start of a project like that?
