Hi Jim,

I just want to make a nice little application that you can keep open in the background until you need it. So, I definitely don't want a companion app. Why do you mention UDP? I'm just establishing regular FTP connections.

FTP servers don't care much about the number of connections. Good FTP clients upload and download files at the same time, using different connections. I want to do the same. Although it is impossible to do exactly that with libUrl, it does get me close.

Indeed, I don't control which file finishes first etc, as you can see by looking at the Transfers window of EcxFTP. It also indicates that libURL doesn't allow for true asynchronous uploads, while other FTP clients do.

All the best,

Mark

Perhaps you need a companion app that will take advantage of the operating system multi-threading. UDP could let two apps on the same computer call
functions & share data very easily.
This could make your solution too complex and not solve the fundamental
problem.

Isn't the bottom line with an ftp server that it will only write one file at a time? If this is not the case, then I would like to understand more about this. I am probably going to update my 'auto-upload' functions in the next
month, so this if very timely for me.

Are you making multiple connections to the ftp sever from one app?
Is that what actually happens?
(Therefore you don't actually 'control' which file finishes first, etc.)

Hmmm, there is a lot going on, eh?
