Hi! No, actually FTP is not part of Winsock. Winsock is for low level IP to IP communications (ie. TCP/UP, UDP, etc). FTP is built on top of the Winsock layer. You can build FTP routines that utilize sockets. If I remember correctly, there is a windows DLL called wininet.dll that DOES contain FTP functions. You are correct that IE is NOT required to do FTP. (Also, there is a DOS FTP command that is nice and easy to use... try it!) Good luck!
