Thank you for your reply.
With trap i'm referring to the possibility/chance, to build up a
solution that "recurssivly calls itself" on iterating through the Dirs
(scanning recursivly for the contents of a certain dir, process
contents, finding again a dir -> scanning that for files/dirs and so on
and on and on).
It shoul be something like FindFirst and FindNext that can be used on a
FTP-Host without recursive implementation.
I do not know how to explain it in details without writing a lot of text
but i hope it makes clear where in see that possibility for generating a
"Recursive trap".
If you have an other solution for that issue, would be nice if you could
let me know.
Thank's
