Many thanks Jim
i was quite affraid on making a ftp server (I have a lot of security 
constraints)
but I think it is the best solution and I will move on

by the way is there a way to exhange programming tricks related to ffmpeg ?
we are several using batch files it will be great to share solved points

exemple : In case you run   ffmpeg  -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy
you'll get webcam model name which might include acents and/or special 
caracters
(mine is video="Périphérique vidéo USB")
accents cannot be handled very well with dos batch
I found a trick which may help the community and ready to share

regards
jacky
