Yeah, with a me too.  Particularly since M$ saw the ftp protocol as an illegal 
sharing mechanism from the gitgo and never has (to my knowledge anyway) 
released an ftp stack that actually matches the RFC's for it.

This is one place where the *nix's are at least 2 decades ahead of M$.

BTW John, I'm getting server reject messages from linville AT tuxdriver dot 
com when I reply to a message you've posted.  I killed the last one without 
noting the error number though, sorry.
