Hi Khen.
Thanks for your hint, but I have ment something different. I need advice how to use the datacon class from Net::FTP to get the amount of transfereed data (while transfering). I have read the CPAN docu, but I have no glue what the aouther is telling me. Best would be a working sample - for me.
Regards Ademmler
