Thanks Francois (I have to get my postcard out to you),
I am currently exprimenting with ICS but the problem is we need blocking
components. The mulithreading side of the code works well and with the
timescales involved we cannot change the current model. To be honest when we
tested the indy client against the ICS ftp server, we saw exceptionally fast
transfers.
However, as I have been trying to find the answer to for over a week, I get
some weird errors even if I lose the multithreading and just try simple demo
apps with INDY. The problem must be with my environment since I cannot see
how it could be a problem with the INDY components as it would have been
reported by now.
At the moment I am using ICS for my FTP server and moving Synapse for the
ftp client.
Sham.
