uploading to server

Any easy code samples for uploading web pages to a server using VB out there?

use the Inet control, set its protocol to ftp, give a host name, user name and password and use ftp commands to put the files.

use the inet_statechanged method to find out when its finished.

hope this helps

I'm not very familiar with ftp code at all. Would you have a code sample?

create a command then execute it.

VB Code:

command = "put c:\data\myImage.jpg /users/me/myImage.jpg"
Call Inet1.Execute(, command)

Then to check that it has finished - Inet ftp commands do not halt the flow of the program - i.e. the next line executes before you get a result.

VB Code:

Select Case State
        Case icResolvingHost
            'txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & "Resolving Host" & vbCrLf
        Case icHostResolved
            'txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & "Host Resolved" & vbCrLf
        Case icConnecting
            'txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & "Connecting to Host" & vbCrLf
        Case icConnected
            'txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & "Connected to Host" & vbCrLf
        Case icRequesting
            'txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & "Sending Request" & vbCrLf
        Case icRequestSent
            'txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & "Request Sent" & vbCrLf
        Case icReceivingResponse
            'txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & "Receiving Response" & vbCrLf
        Case icResponseReceived
            'txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & "Response Received" & vbCrLf
        Case icDisconnecting
            'txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & "Disconnecting from Host" & vbCrLf
        Case icDisconnected
            'txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & "Disconnected from Host" & vbCrLf
        Case icError
            txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & vbCrLf & "An error occurred during the upload process" & vbCrLf
            If Err.Number = 0 Then
                MsgBox ("Directory already Exists")
            Else
                MsgBox (Err.Number & "  " & Err.Description)
            End If
            exitEnabled = True
        Case icResponseCompleted
            'YOUR CODE TO EXECUTE WHEN FINISHED GOES HERE
end select

If you want to find out all the ftp commands - open your command prompt, run ftp and type help ftp

Sorry, the select case code goes in

Private Sub Inet1_StateChanged(ByVal State As Integer)

Just double click on the inet control to get this method.
