o Authorization: DIR shows the file exists, but GET fails because you haven't sufficient permission on the server system to read it. o Timing: the DIR step reports the file exists, but another process deletes it before the GET, which fails. o Syntactic: The format of the reply from DIR on the remote system is different from what you expect. o Structural: the files to be fetched exist in different directories, and a single call to DIR doesn't show them all. ... and it's less code. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
