that's a great tip.. I love it. Though I knew ftp.exe had more to it than the interactive cmd line mode, I never looked into it any further. I can wrap this up into a homesite script easily to upload the current file, or whatever.. entirely from a keyboard shortcut. (quick editPlus dig: and in homesite I can pick my own :) Sam > c:\windows\Ftp.exe -:sC:\ftp.txt
