Use the OnWorkBegin, OnWork, and OnWorkEnd events.

You do not need to do that for uploads.  TIdFTP already knows the size
of the file it is uploading, and provides that in the AWorkCountMax
parameter of the OnWorkBegin event.

That is not correct.  AWorkCount is already the total running count.
Use it as-is.

TIdFTP is not a threaded component, so that is not necessary if it is
already being used in the main thread.  Synchronize() is only needed
if you are using TIdFTP in a worker thread.

Before uploading, you get the file size from the operating system.
In the OnWork() member, you add each AWorkCount to your running total,
and use Synchronize() to update the label.

Usually yes, since you are going to use it in a display or a
percentage calculation.

The "old library" he was referring to was the NetMaster components
that Borland used to bundle with the IDE before switching over to
Indy.

Yes, it is.

Ok then the BDS2006 documentation is incorrect

AWorkCount	Number of bytes affected by the event

This is inside the OnWork Event, so the number of bytes per event seems to be the meanng
as prior bytes (and their events) are not affected by this particular event.

AWorkCount indicates the number of bytes sent or received in the read or write operation

Should have the word "Total" in there somewhere.

If you've already fixed the docs, it might be nice if CG hotfixed our help docs.

Feature Suggestion:
OnWork supply similar data as CopyProgressRoutine does for CopyFileEx.
(I realize I'm over a year late on that, but it just came up)
That's quite a bit of work too, I'd imagine as everything seems to go through OnWork
Maybe version11....

Alright, now I am trying to update the CGauge1 that I have used for the 
status bar on file transmission... The cgauge performs as expected when I 
upload the file and it will display the correct information, but upon 
downloading a file it will not perform at all... The CGauge is displaying 
100% at all times... The Code under my functions is as follows:

ftpWorkEnd()
{
 pbar->Progress = 0;
 ListBox1->Height = 329;
 ListBox1->Repaint();
 pbar->Visible = false;
}

ftpWorkBegin()
{
  pbar->Progress =0;
  pbar->MaxValue = AWorkCountMax;
}

ftpWork()
{
  pbar->Progress = AWorkCount;
}

..... Am I doing something wrong that this wont display the download 
progress?

Check   AWorkCountMax.
I figure it's zero, making the progress bar always 100%.
Remy mentioned some time ago that Get doesn't know the size of the file.
If that is still the case, then you would need to figure the file size before downloading.

I can't find the Indy function, but the Win function is  FtpFindFirstFile().

Correct.  The FTP specification does not provide any means of
specifying the file size during a transfer.

> If that is still the case

It is.

Correct.  TIdFTP has a Size() method for that, though not all servers
support the SIZE command as it was not part of the original FTP
specification.  So if Size() returns -1, then you will have to use the
List() method with the DirectoryListing property to grab information
about the file.

If size does not work correctly then I need to use the List() and 
DirectoryListing property to grab information about the file... How do I do 
that with the DirectoryListing Property?? If you have some kind of sample 
that would be perfect... This FTP stuff is still a section I am trying to 
get down solid...

p.s. - All of your time is Greatly appreciated!

Have you tried looking at it yet?  Have you read the documentation for
it yet?  It is a very straight-forward collection to use.

> If you have some kind of sample that would be perfect...

Have you looked at the downloadable demos from Indy's website yet?  Or
gone to http://www.deja.com to search through the newsgroup archives?
Code snippets have been posted many many times before.
