We have such a beastie. It is called BeyondFTP. Seems pretty good, for a Windows product [grin]. It can execute a script upon successful recept of a file. It can also then distribute that file to other servers by using Windows "shares". We do that a lot. I.e. instead of putting up ftp servers on all the servers, we have BeyondFTP receive the ftp file and then do a "copy" to a shared directory that the appropriate server can access as well. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
