Aloha from Hawaii, Michael:
Thanks for responding.... my line is correct... because I can call that same
handler all by itself from the message box and the put fld into URL "ftp..."
Works fine... so, I suspect I am facing the same issue you faced... address
already in use. i.e. apparently libURL is unable to open/read/write thru two
or more sockets asynchronously to the same domain like most FTP clients can
can.

Actually I *didn't* know that (where is the documentation?) So, Scott's
"putting delay in" is very doable in this context... in fact I would rather
the user wait, so using a send in to poll the result until upload is
complete should work.

Anyway I finished the project already, resorting to a completely explicit
socket script for both uploads for this very specific file to two separate
directories...fortunately writing your own sockets still seems to work fine
in the latest versions. But I can use the above result/feedback at least to
provide the user with an assurance on single file uploads

Thanks!
