Thanks, I got it working. Unfortunetly Max grinds to a hault whilst it's busy downloading/uploading! Don't understand why though as Max is quite happy if I have some other ftp program running at the same time.

It'll be using blocking sockets - that is, it halts the whole thread 

when waiting for data from the socket. Solution: use a separate thread.

Other FTP programs, as separate processes, run in a different thread by 

In FTP apps it is quite common to have one thread that handles the 

socket communication for control messages and another for the data 

transfer (as these use different sockets).

It'll be using blocking sockets - that is, it halts the whole thread 
when waiting for data from the socket. Solution: use a separate thread.

Other FTP programs, as separate processes, run in a different thread by 
definition (hence the lack of blocking).
