Hello all...

I'd like to set up a filter to run an FTP server when I receive a
message with the subject, "start ftp".

Seems simple enough, and it is. The filter activates properly. My
trouble here is that when TB executes the FTP program, it doesn't
start it in the program's directory. I'm using War FTP v1.66, and it
needs to be started in the installed directory to find its database
files. When TB runs the FTP, it can't find its user database and
config files, so it starts anew.

I tried creating a .lnk shortcut to the server with the directory
specified in the Start In Directory field, then pointing Bat! to
execute the .lnk instead of directly to the .exe. However, Bat! will
not run the shortcut. The log reports:
FILTER - Could not start process for rule FTP request The system
cannot find the file specified.

It should be able to find the file just fine. If I simply double click
the shortcut itself, the FTP executes exactly as it should.

I only hope I am making sense here! So, can anyone suggest a work-
around solution? TIA.
