Xailer & OZ Software

Am using TFtp to transfer some files ... working fine.
Is there an easy way to update a progress bar when using oFtp:GetFile(
.... ) ??
Have looked through the TFtp source and it looks like nothing in there.
Have looked through your FTP source on the Spanish Xailer blog and it does
seem to have progress but this is coded differently to TFtp .... its using
ReadFile and WriteFile .... I dont really want to do this.
TIpClientFtp in xHarbour does appear to have a progress calling slot.
So question is .... Is there an easy way to update a progress bar when using
oFtp:GetFile( ... ) ??
Any help would be appreciated.

You may use the class TAsyncFiledownload. That class makes the job in a
second thread, that is, not blocking the main thread, and fires an event
periodically to indicate the download progress.

Jose,
Thanks for the reply.
I will take a look at TAsynchFileDownload ...
I see it appears to be HTTP protocol, so dont know if that will work with a
FTP server ?
I will investigate.
