Hi Eric,

I think this problem occurs when text returned by the FTP server is in a
format that WinInet cannot parse.

Perhaps you can try to disable PASSIVE mode.

Eric,

If you have FrontPage Extensions enabled on your website it often messes up
regular FTP (and vice-versa).

Try creating a subfolder under the FP site and see if you can FTP directly
into that.

HTH,

Charles
