Daniel,

Thanks for your response. I actually did spend a decent amount of time
looking at the documentation, including that example.

I see where the file_is_comming callback opens the file using a filename
that I assumed was passed by curl in the fileinfo struct. My assumption
was that the filename curl passes to the callback function is the name of
the file it found on the ftp server. Note that I am using the wildcard
ftpget example. Perhaps it varies from the regular ftp example. I need to
know how to set a directory name in front of the filename when opening the
file. As I tried to explain, but perhaps didn't do well was that I need to
be able to specify that directory at runtime rather than compile it into
the code.

Thanks,
David
