Hi Arno, I did use any possible way that occurred to my mind to figure out what the problem is without any success. And as I said - it's working just fine when I am testing it from a standart windows application, but when I start the service it's crashing. What I was getting from the DIR command is that it couldn't save the file. I also tried generating a random file name for the directory listing and it didn't help either. Is there another way to capture the directory listing without saving it to a file?

I've downloaded a unit named ftpcommon.pas somewhere that helps parsing a lot, but I can't find the link at the moment:( Arno Garrels -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
