Hi Bob,

You can certainly use Sockets to ftp data from a remote site.
I've done this to read Topex data from
ftp://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/sea_surface_height/topex_posei don/mgdrb/data/

The GUI shows the remote Topex dirs, the files in a selected remote Topex dir,
the Local Topex dirs, and the files in a selected local Topex dir, and
ftp downloads of a dir of Topex files occur at the click of a button.

It should run just fine under the IDL VM.

Let me know if you'd like to see the code.

And for anyone who knows me, Shock! Horror! it's even got some objects in it :-)
