Hi Ken,

I played with active and passive modes, but that was not the issue. At least regarding the URL function, the problem was that I was not putting parentheses around my information:

put url "ftp://"; & FTPUSER & ":" & FTPPASS & "@" & FTPHOST into myVar

should have been:

put url ("ftp://"; & FTPUSER & ":" & FTPPASS & "@" & FTPHOST) into myVar

Also, while testing, I think my socket became locked... When playing around with FTP, I highly recommend using the resetAll command to make sure all sockets are clear before retesting...

Thanks for the help...

- Boo

Anyway, I am able to upload and download files with no problem. Furthermore, I am also able to make directories and delete directories. The problem I am having is the acquisition of a file list for the FTP account. I have tried both of the following methods, but to no avail:

]libURLSetFTPListCommand "LIST"
get libURLftpCommand("LIST","ftp.mydomain.com","myusern...@mydomain.com","mypassword")
answer it

Sounds to me like you're in active ftp mode...which is strange as
passive mode is the default.
Try:
libURLSetFTPMode "passive"

If that doesn't work, try
libURLSetFTPMode "active"

I've not played with FTP in LiveCode, but I'd bet that solves this one.
