Hi Zaheer,

Another option is to use the Microsoft command-line FTP client.

You could have an FTPAUTOWEB.BAT file with a single line as follows:

ftp -s:FTPAUTOWEB.TXT

The text file would contain something like:

open ftp.myserver.com.au
russellhill
ab554527
cd testing
lcd c:\zip
put MyZipFile.ZIP
quit

where the lines from above are, in order:

logon using the host name
user name
password
change the FTP directory to "testing"
change the local directory to "c:\zip"
upload the zip file to "testing" on the server
logoff

You could call the BAT file using ShellExecute from a CommandButton.Click(), for example, as follows:

Local cFileToExecute, cDirectory, cParameters, cOperation, nShowWindow, nError

DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute ;
	IN SHELL32.DLL ;
	INTEGER nWinHandle, ;
	STRING cOperation, ;
	STRING cFileName, ;
	STRING cParameters, ;
	STRING cDirectory, ;
	INTEGER nShowWindow

cFileToExecute = 'FTPAUTOWEB.BAT'
cDirectory = 'c:\zip'

cParameters = []

cOperation = 'open'
nShowWindow = 3
nError = ShellExecute( 0, ;
	m.cOperation,m.cFileToExecute,m.cParameters,m.cDirectory,m.nShowWindow ;
	)

MESSAGEBOX("This is an FTP test .... Wait for the DOS window to close and then click to exit.")

You can get a full list of the command-line options from:

Hope this helps.
