Isnt there another open source FTP program in vb/c++ (darkminion made it i belive) what is the diffrence between your program and his? i have no idea what im talking about so ugh :P

BNCS stands for what.... ? I figure i might as well ask because i might just be completely off subject here...

Why is this sticky again?  Split gone awry? :P

Yes.  I split it off the main BnFTP thread, and didn't notice it inherited the sticky.

BNCS stands for Battle.Net Chat Server.

I have no idea what DarkMinion's code does or doesn't do.

BnFTP's -h switch should give you a good idea of what it does:

Valid platform IDs:

  IX86: x86 (PC)

  XMAC: Apple Macintosh (OS X)

Valid product IDs:

  DSHR: Diablo Shareware
  DRTL: Diablo
  W2BN: Warcraft II: BNE
  SSHR: Starcraft Shareware
  SSHR: Starcraft Japanese
  STAR: Starcraft
  SEXP: Starcraft: Brood War
  D2DV: Diablo II
  D2XP: Diablo II: Lord of Destruction
  WAR3: Warcraft III
  W3XP: Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne

When requesting an ad banner, the extension and id of the banner should be specified, eg:

  bnftp -i 100 -e png [other arguments]

When downloading game patches, the product & platform IDs must match the patch being downloaded. This will not work:

  bnftp -g D2DV -p XMAC useast.battle.net SEXP_IX86_1xx_111b.mpq

The correct arguments would be:

  bnftp -g SEXP -p IX86 useast.battle.net SEXP_IX86_1xx_111b.mpq

When downloading Warcraft III files, it may be necessary to use version 2 of the protocol:

  bnftp -2 -g WAR3 -p IX86 <Warcraft III cd key> useast.battle.net [some Warcraft III file]
