Rob,

You can't "send a socket" over a network. A socket is a software 
"device" that your program uses to communicate with the networking code 
in the operating system.  This networking code will send data over a 
network, but it doesn't send the socket...

The analogy I use when teaching is that a socket is like a telephone. 
When you make a phone call your words (data) gets sent to the other 
person...  but the phone itself doesn't actually get sent :-)

Also, I don't understand how reading the code for FTPAPI will help Gary 
understand why a completely different program is putting status messages 
on his screen...?
