Can i see how you do it? Iīm a Indy newbee and just by looking through a
demo i wrote this code:

procedure TfrmMain.ftpServerRetrieveFile(ASender: TIdFTPServerThread;
   const AFileName: String; var VStream: TStream);
begin
try
VStream := TFileStream.Create(AppDir+'\'+AFilename,fmOpenRead);
end;

Thatīs it...now i expect the file to be dowloaded to the client...but it
doesnīt.

The file is 350 Mb. I got a hint from Remy that AppDir isnīt
threadsafe...so now it is a global variabel...maybe i should use Indys
Threadsafestring?

The AppDir contains the path 'C:\test' Maybe it has something to do with
the AFileName...it contains a 'V' and then the filename?

What am i doing wrong?

Hope you have time to answer this.

Thanx in advance
Frankie
