Maybe GetHTTPFile()
There are a couple of commands to monitor the progress as well

@blinkOk ~ Thanks!
I haven't tried it yet but will report back when I do. Also found, "SendHTTPFile".

There is no FTP, it is a big inconvenience for some things.
Yes, you can upload things to a server, but you cannot delete or modify what already exists. I created a program to upload photos and it worked fine until they removed the command "setRawWritePath". There are alternative commands, but I have to modify a lot of code to get it working again.
To modify the images and delete them, I use a program made with darkbasic pro on the PC.

If you don't mind using a DLL (which will of course limit the portability of your software) you could take a look at the WinAPI FTP functions on msdn. That's surely one of the simplest options.

If not, you could write a barebones FTP routine that establishes a TCP connection to a server (relatively easy with sockets) and does the file transfers via that socket. It's a plaintext protocol which makes things simpler. Warning, may only be an appropriate option if you're a nerd like me who likes to spend time understanding and implementing systems...
