I'm reposting this, as I've had no takers from the previous, and I note that Holger may be monitoring.... I have tried a couple of different approaches to rewrite a file and an FTP site, and the result is always that rebol crashes and Dr. Watson intervenes. (Current version of view). Here's the code, I'd welcome comments. ;================================================ DstFile: ftp://usr:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/log.txt SrcFile: ftp://usr:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/log.bak text: read/lines DstFile if exists? SrcFile [delete SrcFile] rename DstFile SrcFile ;print type? text DstPort: open/new/write DstFile foreach line text [ print line append DstPort [line newline] ;CRASHES HERE!! ] close DstPort ; I am running from a Win NT 4.0 Workstation Platform with upgrade ; 5.0 ; I am writing to a Linux machine. I can make this work if I do the rewrite on my machine and then FTP it to the site, but it would be just wonderful if I can do the backup and editing at the site. TIA Tim
