Doesn't the FTP server come with source code? If not, maybe you can get the source for some servers at sf.net? Anyway, the only way that comes to my mind is hooking a DLL into the FTP server's process, but that is anything but trivial. ------------- Ehsan Akhgari Farda Technology (http://www.farda-tech.com/) List Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ WWW: http://www.beginthread.com/Ehsan ] But the thought is one thing, the deed another, and the idea of the deed still another.
