I need a way to automatically select a different file from a directory which I will populate over time, and then feed that name to the upload script. I can't find anything like this in the ports. Can someone suggest a utility, script, et cetera, for this? Otherwise, I'm prepared to write my own, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel, as the saying goes. Thanks. Please CC me as I'm not currently subscribed to the List. Walter
