'please help' is not a suitable subject for a question. Use something that at least gives a clue to the question.

Solution 2

Hi,
It's probably intended to shorten g_szFtpDllFileName to its last backslash character.
It will crash if there is no backslash to stop the loop.
Go away from such code :)

AR
