Hi Andre!

You really have the talent to boldly code
what no programmer has published before.
(from the "Star Trek" motto ;-)

Andre, I have some questions about FTP, 
now that you are on it:

How reliable and safe is FTP protocol?
Could it support resume on partial uploads
or downloads.

Could anyone (intentionaly) sniff the password
used to connect to a ftp server?

What additional features does RunRev requires
to implement the Secure FTP protocol?

Could i select an encripted file to 
get the users name and password from it
and connect to a ftp server to upload files?

(In this way the user do not have to write
their user name and password on the machine. 
Sometimes I had wished that all login screen 
provided an option to get the user id and 
password directly from a file in cd rom or floppy)

Thanks a lot Andre,
Keep up your good work!
