ftping and filetype property

[Rob Gould]

That sounds like a great idea.  One last question - - - I know how to 
"set" the filetype, but I'm having trouble finding the Rev command to 
retrieve the filetype of a file on the hard-drive, before uploading to 
the server via FTP.  Did you have to use Applescript to retrieve this info?
