| Q.: Can I write an FTP client that only allows users to download files without allowing them to upload files. |
A.: Yes, you can write a client that only allows GET - However, the restriction is valid only when this FTP client is used. That is, if the user used a differnet FTP application and tries to PUT a file - it would work unless you restrict it from the server end.

| Q.: How do I handle an authentication error directly from my application without popping up the dialog box that is built into the ActiveX? |
| A.: You must first set the ShowUI property to False to inhibit the built-in authentication dialog box. Then you must check for the value in the LastResults property. If this value is 401 this means that User Authentication has failed and your application can handle the situation accordingly. |
