... NO references to FTP in any of these forums (fora?)? Used the little search window on upper-right of the toolbar, and got NO hits for ftp or FTP (does case matter?) Anyhow, I'm trying to find some sort of command-line FTP "get" command in which I can specify what to get, where to park it, and that the FTP login is to be anonymous.... I've seen the -s switch on command-line ftp, but that would require me to write out the "what to get, and where to park it" stuff to a text file.... I could do that, if I have to, but would rather not... Bigger question is how, from my VB program, to pass the FTP commands out to be executed.... Is this some sort of "shell" thing? Wish I was more familiar with the terminology, but I'm not....

Thanks VERY much for any pointers any of you can share!!
