FTP DBF file directly from paradox form - object PAL code

[pickled]

Is there an OP solution to FTP a DBF file automatically from a paradox form? Same FTP site every time.

I do this by launching a DOS batch file which logs me into the FTP server and sends the file. There are more elegant solutions, like the one offered by JedStar Technologies. I have purchased their FTP soulution for Paradox but have yet to implement it (other projects have taken precedence). It's on my short list of things to get done soon. Mac

I'm about to use Python for ftp.

In fact I'm considering using Python instead of ObjectPAL for certain tasks.

Thanks for the tip, mc7. Python looks interesting. Mac
