both are great ideas. Go for it. It may be a better idea to at first try a get-url before you do a get-ftp-dir task. Then any random url could be downloaded. The get-ftp-dir is slightly more complicated but they are definetly worthwhile tasks. as for jspc - have no idea what it is :P Cheers, Pete *------------------------------------------------------* | "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want | | to test a man's character, give him power." | | -Abraham Lincoln | *------------------------------------------------------*
