OK< if that is almost there then i will start from that. I had intended to start fresh.

maybe slightly. :-) my point was that while the underlying operations are not the same between sftp and ftp, it would seem to me that the way that the fileinfo struct gets filled out should be the same so i should be able to use the ftp fileinfo fill out code as the place to start and then change it in the parts that gather the data since the sftp data gathering part will be different.

but i dont think it matters ATM since i am going to work from that patch now.

tnx!
