Code: winMain.close app.AutoQuit = true dim myShell as new shell myShell.execute "start ftp.exe -s:ftpgetcs" + chr(34) This does not work: Code: winMain.close app.AutoQuit = true dim myShell as new shell myshell.execute "ftp.exe -s:ftpgetcs" Also, I want to wait 2 seconds after the above has completed and then re-launch the man application again and this does not work: Code: dim pause as integer = ticks + 120 while ticks < pause wend myShell.execute "myprog.exe" + chr(34) Any help gratefully received Peter Top qbap Post subject: Re: Can't figure out shell.executePosted: Sun Dec 06, 2009 5:40 am Joined: Fri Oct 02, 2009 1:02 pm Posts: 21 Location: POLAND I think you must specify the direct file location ftp.exe in shell execute command. For example "C:\Windows\ftp.exe -s:ftpgetcs" _________________ web: http://realbasic.tutspolis.com/ Top pac Post subject: Re: Can't figure out shell.executePosted: Sun Dec 06, 2009 5:53 am Joined: Sat Aug 22, 2009 1:44 am Posts: 18 Hi; Thanks, what a coincidence, I was just trying your tutorial on download manager which works well, however all files are saved as text files. Is there a way to save as binary instead ??
