You FTP client assume there is a Unix machine as the FTP server. On manyof those Unix machines, the FTP server pass the directory command to the command line utility "ls" for which "-latr" is valid options. This behavious is defenitely not standard, not defined in the RFC. The code you extracted from the component is an attempt to somewhat handle this behaviour: >>> if Params = '' then >>> Path := Client.Directory + '*.*' >>> else >>> if (UpperCase(Params) = '-LA') or (UpperCase(Params)='-AL') then >>> begin >>> ListHidden := TRUE; >>> Path := Client.Directory + '*.*'; >>> end >>> else >>> Path := BuildFilePath(Client, Client.Directory, Params); You may extend that code to handle more "ls options" and specifically those that you want. I don't know the FTP client you use (AceExpertFtp) but there is probably a configuration option, probably in the connection definition that tell the client which kind of server it connect to, or tell the client to guess what type of server it connect to. Change that option so that the client stop sending "-latr" option. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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
