1. Downloading Files via EUPHORIA
All right, gurus, time to don the thinking caps...
Would it be possible to have a EUPHORIA software program on a client's
desktop access an FTP server via TCP/IP (or whatever) and download a
file from it? If so, what components will be required? I'd want to have
authentication (no unauthorized downloads); how would that be done? This
is for Windows-based PCs.
Thanks!

There are many solutions to this problem. You can do Raw TCP/IP
Communication to a FTP Server, but you have to understand the protocol in
order to do so. Another option is to use WinINet.dll, not my absolute fav,
but does the job. Then there's FTP4W found here

&keywords=FTP4W This is a very viable solution. Me and a friend worked on
a Patcher program, which uses the FTP4W Engine, to download files from a
Remote FTP Server, to the person's hard drive. Unfortunatly, all the code
for that was lost, but you can find the bound executable at
http://linmiyu.trilake.net It's not that hard to work with, and if you ever
need help, just let me know.

I'm running login.exw from the EuFTP4W package, and it's telling me it
cannot login. I'm trying to login to
ftp://ftp.sunsite.utk.edu/pub/gnu/ftp/. I can do so with IE, but I can't
do it with EuFTP4W. I get the "unable to connect" error... Any ideas on
how to get it to connect? (That's just a site i'm using as a test...)

I'm using this in the login.exw file:
constant
HOST = "ftp://ftp.sunsite.utk.edu/pub/gnu/ftp/",
USER = "",
PASSWORD = ""
I can't find anywhere where it says that is wrong. Can somebody try
login.exw with these settings and let me know if you get something
different? Like I said before, I can access the site via my web browser...

Just for our knowledge encyclopedia, this worked:
host = "ftp.sunsite.utk.edu"
user = "anonymous"
password="anyemail at anyisp.com"
Ray suggested I move to euLibCurl, so I'm going that way now... :)
