[AccessD] FTP command line, passive mode

How about using a watched folder or directory, when a file is added to a 
folder then do something

Creating a Watched Folder with FindChangeNotification API

I didn't realize you could ftp download with a couple of lines of code.
Someone was looking for this, you could stick this in html via vbscript 
or javascript
The popup window allows you to specify where to place the file.

Private Declare Function DoFileDownload Lib "shdocvw" _
    (ByVal lpszFile As String) As Long
 Sub ftptestrun() 
   Dim sDownload As String
   sDownload = 
StrConv("http://www5.brinkster.com/mconnelly/GenericDB/suppliers.csv", 
vbUnicode)
   Call DoFileDownload(sDownload)
End Sub
