Unless you create a string that is hundreds of thousands of bytes long, or continually extend it each time it's written, you risk overflowing a string since they are not inherently dynamic. > If I ditch the "Download to String" idea and download to a stream, > can I do this without having any disk activity.

A Delphi TStream is an abstract data type, the underlaying format depends upon which specific descendent is created, it may be a memory stream, file stream or various others like buffered streams which are a mix of the two. To save directory listings to a stream, you have something like: var DirStream: TStream ; DirStream := TMemoryStream.Create ; FtpClient.LocalFileName := '' ; FtpClient.LocalStream := DirStream ; FtpClient.Dir ; // process stream DirStream.Free ; FtpClient.LocalStream := nil; Angus -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
