Hi David, If you need to do many append writes to a file, then open, write, write,... write, write, close will be faster then put url. Same with lots of seeking and reading. If you are going to read or write an entire file at once, then it doesn't make a difference. Open, read/write, close gives you much more control than put/get url.
