dainsleif Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 (edited) thx a lot..looks like it is working now.. but i dunno why ..*g*..the file labeled as the original file still exists in the temp dir..but seems like the script though bypasses it.. anyway..exactly what i wanted it to do thx --- gotta correct this one i now have a constant data connection open to the remote host, but it is only 0.5k/sec..instead of 70 or more.. if i delete the temp file manually i get the result wanted..
