When using ftp(), it would be pretty nice to be able to control some aspects of the "Save as..." dialog the client gets when the file comes through.

src << ftp(file,content="Please select a location to save your file.",title="Where do you want to save that file?",filter="DMI Icon *.dmi|PNG Icon *.png",default="somefile.dmi")

Or something of that nature.

"content" being the text that appears below the file name input box.

"title" being the title of the save dialog.

"filter" being a standard Windows dialog control type filter string.

"default" being the default value put into the file name input box.

Oasiscircle	I second this! ftp() is such an awesome function that so many people ignore, I'd love to see a lot of improvements with file management procs within DM! :)

Ter13	I could definitely use this for a file system browser I'm working on at the moment.
