FTPing from VB6

[Kzin]

I'm about to put the infamous ickftp2.ocx into some code I'm writing so that it can upload files using FTP .
Am I unwise - is there a better way to FTP?

So infamous I don't know it! Is this the same as Inet? I'm in the middle of a project that does a lot of FTP'ing, and I have explored 2 methods:

1: Inet. I lifted the code from somewhere, but haven't fully explaored everythig
2: bat files - writing your ftp commands to a bat file - I feel it is more secure.

I plumped with Inet, and it hasn't given my ANY problems.

Sorry, I meant "Stable", not secure...

INfamous not Famous ;)

Dev-Soft's Internet Commerce Kit was a great mid-nineties set of tools using the Win32 Internet API . When I started using them there were a great way of doing things but the world has caught up now! They are sometimes a bit unstable and Dev-Soft new worked out the dependancies for the files properly but you can find out about them using http://www.dev-soft.com/ctl_ickFTP.htm

Inet sounds better - tell me more!! :)

PS: Why are bat files better :(

Or maybe its 16 bit predecessor since I remember now my code was orginally for Win 3.1
