I know that's a strange question, but it seems appropriate.

I've got a data vendor that doesn't provide direct access
to their FTP site that I can access using a traditional FTP program.
I've tried and can't get in.

What I have to do is click on a link in my email, which takes to
to an web page that uses an ftp url (ftp://datalink.interealty.com/....)

I can open the site in Windows Explorer and drag-n-drop the files into
a folder or I can open the url in Firefox and use the download dialog to
get the files, which works much better that Explorer.

I've requested that the vendor allow me direct FTP access to my folder,
but they say they can't because the URL changes every day with the downloads.

That doesn't make sense to me, because the URL in the email and the URL that
shows up in the browser is always the same.  The names of the files change,
because the name includes a timestamp as part of the name.  They're still
saying they can't (probably more that they won't) set up FTP access.  Maybe
there're something I'm not understanding.

Anyway...

I tried using cfhttp to get the html off that page and try to get access to
the files that way, but all I get is a "Connection Failed" message.

Does this make sense to anyone?  Is there any way to get the links to the files
that are part of the code in the HTML page displayed in the browser when I visit
the FTP URL?
