hi.

is it possible to do a second login to the ftp server after a first one
has
been initiated and a large file is being uploaded? i am trying to
figure
out a way to get the bytes of the file being uploaded real-time and i
thought
a way might be to do a second login, take a snapshot of the amount of
bytes
that have been uploaded so far, and return that number to the web
server. this
would be a background thread that repeats this process a number of
times until
the file has been completely uploaded.

does anybody see problems in this approach?

thanks.

Errr second login? I'm not sure what you asking.
But you can initiate many login to IIS FTP under the same machine/username,
etc

yes, thanks. what i meant is - is it possible to read the amount of the
file
that has been uploaded with one login while the other login is doing
the uploading?
maybe this is a programming question and not appropriate for this
forum?
thanks.

Ohh. ok. well in this case you can download the file (which is being
uploaded), but there's no guarantee that it will be the complete file. so if
download speed is higher than the upload, then the download may end earlier
with partial portion of the file.
