That's why I suggested NCFTP (server) or FileZilla (server). I did not specify the (server) part, but I thought we were talking about servers anyway. :-)

Is it possible that the way some FTP servers provide file size information is incompatible with MSIE, or something along those lines? I know, for example, that FTP through our Squid proxy server results in an "Time remaining: Unknown" from MSIE. Firefox gets the size properly. So MSIE doesn't like something Squid does. I've never cared enough to find out what, but could this be the same thing? Maybe a different FTP *server* would help the OP. Especially since getting all the lusers in the world to switch to a better FTP client seems unlikely. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ No virus found in this incoming message.
