Unless this app is just for your personal use, FTP is not the right tool for that job.

Have you considered HTTP?

What about tsNetSendCmd or tsNetSendCmdSync ? (tsNet library with Indy Edition, it works on Android)

from the dictionary :

Code: Select all

local tResult, tCmds
put "CWD /upload_dir" into tCmds
put cr & "DELE backup.dat" after tCmds 
put tsNetSendCmd("1", "ftp://user:pass@ftp.example.com", tCmds,  "transferComplete") into tResult

As you explore that, be sure to focus on HTTPS, rather than HTTP. HTTPS is so common these days that's probably what you were already doing, but it's such an important difference, esp. for things that allow modification of client resources, that I figured it was better to err on the side of thoroughness here.
