Actually George what a lot of people didn't tell me is that Acknex actually already includes a very helpful function for this.
ftp_download(STRING* url, STRING* path, STRING* username, STRING* password)
best part of all it's free!!! I love using things that come with the engine as oppose to having on someone else.  Great work! Also as for releasing updates/patches, everyone should check out wyday! Gonna probably gonna add it to the wiki.

You really want to include your username and password to your FTP server in your client application?!
Srsly, think twice about it!

An HTTP request for the file. I don't know if Gamestudio supports it (I think I saw something like this a while ago).
This would be no security risk for you as you don't include you full FTP account.

http_proxy(STRING* proxy,var port)
Sets a http proxy server for the connection to the internet. If no proxy is used, this function needs not to be called.
http_sendpost(STRING* url, STRING* data)
Sends http data with the "post" methode to a web server and returns a httpID. With this httpID the transfer can be controlled with functions like http_status. If no data has to be sent, NULL can be passed for the data string. After the post is finished, the httpID has to be freed with http_free.
http_status(var httpid)
Returns information about a http post:
2 connection problem
1 data was received
0 waiting for data from the server
-1 invalid httpid
http_result(var httpid, STRING* result)
Stores the received data of a http post in the result string and returns the length of the received data.
http_free(var httpid)
Frees the httpID of a http post and stops the transfer. Must be called after each http post.
Parameters:
proxy - proxy server (example: "proxy-host.com"), STRING* or char*.
port - port of the proxy servers (example: 8080).
url - url of the web server (example: "http://www.testserver.com/svlist.php"), STRING* or char*
data - string containing the data to be sent (example: "svname=gameserver&players=16&pw=yes"), STRING*, char*, or NULL.
result - STRING* to receive the result data of the http post oeration.
httpid - httpID of the post, returned by http_post().
Remarks:
Up to 5 http posts can be run at the same time.
All STRING* arguments can also be char* with at least 3 characters (except for http_result).
All functions return -1 if an error occured and 1 if everything went ok (except if something else is mentioned in the function description).
The plugin acknet.dll must be loaded and the file acknet.h must be included for using the ftp functions.
Version:
A7.84 P LC
that's what it says in the help manual. I don't think that includes anything we're talking about here.

A POST should also work, until you explicitly banned it (like they did for the Gamestudio manual). Here is the output from one of my server scripts:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 05 Nov 2010 08:29:04 GMT
Server: Apache
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Connection: close
Transfer-Encoding: Identity
Content-Type: text/html
66308
(HTTP GET)
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 05 Nov 2010 08:27:13 GMT
Server: Apache
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Connection: close
Transfer-Encoding: Identity
Content-Type: text/html
66308
(HTTP POST) As you can see, only the time in the header differs a bit, but I'm pretty sure that the http_sendPost() function already cropped this out of the answer. However, like I already mentioned, there are scripts that don't allow HTTP POST, like the manual. I got this response from http://www.conitec.net/beta/http.htm
HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
Date: Fri, 05 Nov 2010 08:30:42 GMT
Server: Apache
Allow: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS
Connection: close
Transfer-Encoding: Identity
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>405 Method Not Allowed</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Method Not Allowed</H1>
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /beta/http.htm.<P>
</BODY></HTML>

I know I could spend 100euros for ANet but I'm rather happy with A7 multiplayer and I just want one more feature you know? Sending a file through 3dgs would be great or I guess even through FTP would be okay. Anyone know where I can get that extra functionality for free or for cheap? If you don't want to spend 100 euros for the ANet Professional Edition, maybe the ANet Web Edition is the right choice for you. It costs only a 29 euros and offers you ftp support. File sending over the normal client/server connection is only offered by ANet Professional. From the homepage: Create highscores, internet/lan serverlists, file uploads,... with ANet Web and it's HTTP, FTP and UDP functions.
Additionally you get one month free support.
ANet - A stable and secure network plugin with multi-zone, unlimited players, voip, server-list features,... (for A7/A8)! get free version
