FTP from VB6

Hi

I have an app that generates a web page and then FTP's this to your website.

I am having ......... challenges on the FTP.
VB6 generates the an FTP text file and a batch file and then Shell's these.

When you manually click on the batch file all is great.

When this is done through VB6 then the file is not sent, and the outfile merely gives the file name and : F

I am running vista.

the batch file is

Code:

---

ftp -vin < c:\row\ld-st\base_data\ftp0.txt > c:\row\ld-st\base_data\ftp0.txt.out

---

the text file is

Code:

---

open www.my_website.fr
USER My_UID My_Password
bin
put "FP-LAF_r1_c1.gif"
close

---

The outfile is

Code:

---

220 Microsoft FTP Service
331 Password required for My_Userid.
230-Welcome to Active 24’ server: <server>
230 User My_Userid logged in.
200 Type set to I.
FP-LAF_r1_c1.gif: F
221 Logged off…
