Re: mergFTPd example?
The demo stack should also be found in earlier versions of Livecode as long as they include mergFTPd .

Re: mergFTPd example?
Thank you Matthias! I haven't played with 9.6.2 yet but will now be doing so very soon. I'll look into it tomorrow (it's almost 2 AM here) and see what I can learn.

Hi Phil, i would say mergFTPd is the easiest way to accomplish that.
