:-P I shouls mention that the sample code I posted is just cut 'n paste from a
script I set up for someone else, hence, you shouldn't run it as-is. It
deletes the local files once it determines that the transfer was successful.
I also ommitted the 'use' clause, since it preceded all my constant
declarations (which would give away account information).

Please read the code *carefully* before trying to utilise it. I'm also going
to preface the code with "not the prettiest of hacks" since I was more
interested in just getting it done than rewriting to perfection. . .
