| Does anyone know of a way I can rename a folder that resides on an FTP site. I need to know if there is a way to log-in to the FTP server from within the ActiveX script and then rename a specific folder. Can this be done?Thanks, Pat. |

| I don't think that renaming a remote directory is a supported FTP function.You can rename remote files, but I have never seen a remote directory rename.CODO ERGO SUM |

| But how could I at least access the FTP site from a script, providing username and password? |

| Actually, I could get round the problem by renaming the files as you said this was possible. Could you give me more information on this please? |

| Yes you can rename a dir using ftp if the user has permission to do so. rename xxx yyy "God does not play dice" -- Albert Einstein"Not only does God play dice, but he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen." -- Stephen Hawking |
