Hello all !

Iam trying to open multiple connections to an FTP Server from a client by
using "IdFTP Client".

If i do not use different port adresses, i receive the Message "Socket Error
#10048 Adress already in use"
(As i understand, sometimes due to FD_WAIT state and sometimes due to a
"real still used" socket)

Now i am looking for the best way to find a free port adress for the
"BoundIP" property.

I remember that there was a way for TServerSocket like assigning a "0" to
the port and to get a free one
automatic assigned when opening the socket.

Is there any similar way for Indy or do i have to "browse" in an incremented
loop through the possible ports until it works ?

Thank you for any help in advance,
Karsten.
