First, I didn't even know you could use "put .... after url" with an  
ftp URL. But sure enough, it works.

(By the way, the engine makes two calls to the url to do this. First  
it retrieves the entire url from the server, then writes back the  
retrieved data with the new data appended. So this may not offer the  
efficiency you expected.)

That said, I just tested this on 2.7 on Win XP, and it works fine here.

Do you get any error messages?

Cheers
