The processing of each downloaded file is done serially in a separate procedure and there's an explicit close there (I didn't know if I could trust the return to do a cleanup of open file handles for shortly-to-be-uninstantiated objects). And the failure doesn't always occur at the same point. And repeatability is different on different machines too.
If the file *was* open, shouldn't the ERASE fail? I'll look at it further as soon as David gets back to me with what he'd like, but the ERASE is looking like a belt and braces fix right now. i ------ Original Message ------ Received: 09:57 AM COT, 09/25/2009 From: Mark Miesfeld <miesf...@gmail.com> To: Open Object Rexx Users <oorexx-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [Oorexx-users] Errors with the ftpget method > On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 6:54 AM, Ian S.
