Am I missing something? Just the obvious from an implementation point of view ;) It makes sense that (if the ftp server supports is) for a second file, for which I've made a second connection, to come down that stream, etc. The connections aren't named directly because there is no need to. The single order of operations within the FTP protocol provides some assurance that file request A goes with connection a, etc. Darren
