Well, of course somebody had already written something like this. Can you say kitchen sink? :-) The package of choice is called ange-ftp by Andy Norman of HP. I picked it up and found it to be a fantastic package. It uses the FTP protocol to do the transfer and even supports file name completion in the mini-buffer. All in all, a wonderful package. Thanks to all that replied! (There were too many to send out individual replies to.) Bryce Jasmer
