Actually Joe, I advised him to explore FTP since the beginning of this vapor project. For him, he would be better off with FTP because: 1) Easier for him to implement sound technology, 2) RESTart protocols are not new, 3) Most clients and servers support RESTart And the beauty of FTP is that it extended with QUOTE commands which BTW, the RESTart is a QUOTE command - just one that is BCP (Best Current Practice). Here are our extended QUOTE commands for our Wildcat! FTP Server: G:\local\wc7>ftp ftp.winserver.com ..... ftp> quote help 214-The following commands are supported: Standard Wildcat! FTP Quote Commands: ABOR ACCT ALLO APPE AUTH CDUP CLNT CWD DELE FEAT HELP LIST MDTM MLSD MLST MODE NLST NOOP OPTS PASS PASV PBSZ PORT PROT PWD QUIT REIN REST RETR RNFR RNTO SIZE STAT STOR STRU SYST TYPE USER Extended Wildcat! FTP Quote Commands: FDTM - Set File date/time prior to upload. FPWD - Set File Password prior to download/upload. FDSC - Set File Description prior to upload. LDSC - Set File Long Description prior to upload. This sets one line at time, so multiple calls will be required to set each line. LCLR - Clear File Long Description prior to upload. DFMT - Set MSDOS or UNIX style listing. INFO - Show Detail File Information. XOPT - Set/Unset FTP server options. LZDC - Limit file listing/downloads with zero downloads. PFID - Set the User ID value for private file uploads. 214 HELP command successful. ftp> Most top FTP servers also give him private user bins so that the uploads/downloads don't conflict. And this can all be done for authenticated, subscription based systems. What he needs to do is right a special client, a frontend, for what is basically a turnkey product. One design, no worry about open market client compatibility issues and will have full control of the state machine. That is NORMAL technology for most. Peter will not be able to handle these design requirements unless he gets it out of the box. -- HLS

As I told you long ago, FTP is probably your best option because you won't have reinvent the wheel and since you lack problem solving and programming capabilities, your best hope is to get a canned solutions that already had the features you seek. -- HLS

If that is what you were told that you had to pay them, then they saw you coming from 100 miles away and basically wanted to politely scare you away. Taking $15 grand from you for a worthless patent can make even the worst people feel guilty, especially over the holidays and need to face family. -- HLS
