does anyone know of any FTP controls other than
wininet.dll or Internet Transfer Control?

I want to ftp but without using Internet Explorer components.

You may not have noticed but if you ftp using
wininet.dll any downloaded files appear in the "temporary internet files" folder.

Very messy!

OK, can you pint me in the right direction

Bearing in mind that I DO NOT want to use IE components.

You use APIs to access "wininet.dll" but it's still an IE component!

Use the winsock and send FTP commands directly.


And you can turn the cache off and on in wininet.dll
INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE
