    Howdy!

    I'm using MS Visual Basic 6.0 in Windows 98 2nd.ed. I would like to learn to dowload a zip-file from my ftp-site using the in-built Winsock-protocol. How to do this? How to determine password, user name and the port?Can I use Winsock to retrieve the size of the file that I'm downloading? I mean before I have downloaded the whole file. If it not possible with Winsock, how is it then?
    How to check how much (how many bits) I have downloaded compared to the whole file.

    Waiting for your answer,
    Mr.L.


    P.S. I have tried DevPower's FTP-control (www.devpower.com) but it doesn't meet my requirements.
