FTP file uploading problem

[Richard Miller]

Gosh, I wish I knew what you were saying here. I appreciate the  
feedback, but just don't have enough experience in this particular area  
to figure out what to do with your feedback. Can you give me a few more  
clues...or perhaps someone else can explain the feedback?

Thanks so much.
Richard Miller
