Yeah, it would.  Our current FTP method causes problems since it limits the max number of users online at once, and prevents multiple login sessions.  And VB's FTP utilities don't always log off properly.  Which is the root cause of 80% of our problems with IM.  HTTP get/set would scale far better.

Prsn would be the guy to hook up with.  He's recently rolled up his sleeves and done some toying around in the VB source.  I imagine he should be able to short circuit the FTP code into opening URLs.

Another option (for you or Prsn) would be to hook up the .NET wrapper I wrote.  It takes the .NET functions for FTP access (which are far more robust), places them in another thread, and then exposes some controls for VB6.  It would at least be able to log off properly, which should fix the program needing to be reset every few hours.

But yeah, no rush or pressure or anything.  We have a very relaxed pace around here lol
