Connected?
[1/2] from: sunandadh:aol at: 26-Dec-2002 17:50
Connected? always return true on my machine (win98) even when I'm not.
I want to check if the user is online before doing an ftp. I can surround the
code with an try block (I'd do that anyway) but that takes a long time to
fail if not connected.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sunanda.

This is a problem that has come up before.
Holger has said that the most reliable way
to determine if you are online or not
is to actually try to connect.
