Dunno whether you might find anything useful from http://www.google.com/search?q=upload+file+content+type+form+multipart+ima ge+php&sourceid=opera&num=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 (unwrap that). As I understand it, upload by form has nothing to do with ftp - it's part of http - and I assume that it is intended to do an 'exact' copy? Perhaps a code snippet, just in case anyone can pick something odd about it. Cheers -- David Robley Temporary Kiwi! Quod subigo farinam
