Downloading With Internet Transfer Control

[UHF]

Hi,
I've been trying to download binary files, mainly gifs, using the Internet Transfer Control. I am using the code that is in the Help for VB 5.0:

Inet1.AccessType = icUseDefault
Dim b() As Byte
Dim strURL As String

' Presuming this is still a valid URL.
strURL = "ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/" & _
"developr/drg/Win32/Autorun.zip"

' Retrieve the file as a byte array.
b() = Inet1.OpenURL(strURL, icByteArray)

Open "C:\Temp\Autorun.zip" For Binary Access _
Write As #1
Put #1, , b()
Close #1
MsgBox "Done"

I have changed the code to download gif files from my web site and other web sites, but about 25% of the time the gif that is downloaded is corrupted, which means the gif looks sort of like it should, but the pixels are out of place.
Does anyone know how to fix this, or has anyone else had this problem?

Thank you for any help you can give.

Try this way:

Public Sub FtpConnect()

Inet1.AccessType = icUseDefault
Inet1.Protocol = icFTP
Inet1.URL = "ftp.microsoft.com"
Inet1.UserName = "anonymous"
Inet1.Password = "[email protected]"
Inet1.RemotePort = 21
Inet1.RequestTimeout = 60

Inet1.Execute , "CD developr/drg/Win32"
Do
DoEvents
Loop While Form1.Inet.StillExecuting

FtpGetFile

Inet1.Execute , "QUIT"
Do
DoEvents
Loop While Inet1.StillExecuting

End Sub

Public Sub FtpGetFile()

Dim GetFile as String
GetFile = "AutoRun.zip"

Inet1.Execute , "GET " & GetFile & " " & "C:\Temp\" & GetFile
Do
DoEvents
Loop While Inet1.StillExecuting

End Sub

Hope this helps you.

I'm trying to download from an http site, for example: http://slimticker.hypermart.net/prev40.gif

To dj4:

Each time I tried using the ITC, I had the same problem: I get an infinite loop.

Do
DoEvents
Loop While Form1.Inet.StillExecuting

After connecting to the URL (ftp, in my case), the loop will never end. And I am 100% sure it is succesfully connected to the ftp.

Why is this happening?!
