File status thru FTP

Hi all:
What I'm trying to do is get the file size of a file and kinda build a status bar off of it. That way i can track the progress of the file as it downloads. Hope this make sense.

thx in advance

somebody's got to know this. I can get the bytes as they are coming in but i cant get the total before i start the download.

thx again in advance

If you using INET controls, try this way:

Public Sub FtpGetFile()

Inet1.Execute , "GET Test.exe C:\Temp\Test.exe"

FileTransfer

End Sub

Public Sub FileTransfer()

'ProgressBar1.Max = 320000
ProgressBar1.Value = 0.05

Do While Inet1.StillExecuting

If ProgressBar1.Value < ProgressBar1.Max - 1 Then
ProgressBar1.Value = ProgressBar1.Value + 0.05
End If

DoEvents

Loop

ProgressBar1.Value = ProgressBar1.Max

End Sub

Dj4, I have that part of it but what im trying to do is have a progress bar and filesize count at the same time.

for ex.

file size on the server is 100k
that will be the progressbar1.max = 100k/byte (which ever)
and as it downloads it will tell me bytes received

hope this makes a little more sense

thx again in advance

Hi all i had this post a while back and i was hoping that someone could give me a hand.

The steps that dj4 gave me are great and all but i'm trying to get the size of a file from a server.
Ex.

Server File = xxxx.exe 1658 (file size)

What i want to do is take that file size and make it my progressbar.max.

if anybody doesnt understand any part of this just let me know and i will try to clarify it for ya.

thx in advance

HI

You can try also this sample, but I don't like it that because this is not working automatically. I meen user have to tell where he/she want to put file.
