FTPAPI is not a server program.   It's an FTP client.   You do not need
to be familiar with sockets to use it.

This mailing list is for the purpose of discussing the FTPAPI and HTTPAPI
open-source projects.   It's not intended as a mailing list for general
sockets discussions.

I'd be happy to discuss socket programming in RPG with you if you
subscribe to the RPG400-L mailing list.  You can sign-up here:

I wrote a tutorial on sockets programming which has lots of examples.
You can find it here:
   http://www.scottklement.com/rpg/socktut/


But, please don't discuss socket programming here.  This list is for
FTPAPI and HTTPAPI related discussions.

Thank you!
