Will you have the VPN tunnel established 24x7? If so, then your WS_FTP processes won't need any 'awareness' -- just use the correct IP address of the destination system on the far side of the VPN tunnel. IF the tunnel will only be up when you want to transfer files, you'll have to find a way to programatically establish the tunnel. This may mean that you need to script (batch file) the establishment of the VPN tunnel via Winodws Task Scheduler and then call your WSFTP script from your batch file, then disconnect the tunnel at the end. No, it's not terribly elegant. ________________________________

Contact your fulfillment center's technical personnel for assistance. Your WSFTP processes probably won't need to chanage. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Liz Hamilton Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 10:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WS_FTP Forum] new VPN I've been using WS_FTP Professional 2006 to send and receive daily files from our fulfillment center's FTP site. I just received notice that they are now requiring that we go thru their new VPN to get to the FTP site. How do I implement this in WS_FTP? My concern is that all of our tasks are currently scheduled and happen automatically... I don't want that to change! Thanks.
