RE: FTP Try again later messge

[Gary Thompson <gthompson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Scott,
The 'Try Again' message seemed to me to be my 'key'.
000.000.000.000 was intentional because I don't want to expose that server.
Now, my (corrected) approach:
ftp = FTP_Conn( 'thehost': userId: password: FTP_PORT: 30 );
If ftp = 0;
   ftp = Xfer;
Else
  ftp = ReSched;
Endif;

Thank you!

This is not an error message that FTPAPI returns?!

This is a pretty weird message.  "Host X at address."?  What kind of 
grammar is that?   And 000.000.000.000 is not a valid IP address.. in 
fact, it's not even formatted correctly, you can't have leading zeros on an IP address...

If you just want to know if a connection has failed, just do this:

     ftp = FTP_Conn( 'thehost': userId: password: FTP_PORT: 30 );
     if ftp = -1;
        // connection failed.
     endif;

That's a 30 second timeout..  change the 30 to another number if you want a different timeout.
