Thank you for your help,
Yes it is a web site in which is a directory with a specified file and I 
would than my application goes to read the name of the file and compare it 
with one in its hard disk and if it is ok the application download the file. 
That is what I would to do, but I don't know what to use.
At the first time I would read this filename on the website, but I don't 
know what to use to be transparent for the user A way like if I type the url 
in a browser like
http://mywebsite/mydirectory/myfile.exe
and if the filename is ok I start the download like "save" in a browser.
It is only the FTP component able to do it? because I must put the name and 
pwd of my website!!
There is not another way?
I thank you again, and excuse my English
Patrick
