invoke ftp through code

Hi,

I'm building an asp application using webclasses. So it will be a .dll file when compiled.

I need to implement some ftp functionalities: if a user clicks on a link, some files must be ftp-ed from the webserver (an NT machine) to another server under Unix.

Now I've seen codes to do this using Inet/Winsock control, but since I'm not using forms (it's a dll app), I don't think this is the way to go for me.

So the question is: how do I do this through code, is there an API function to do this.

PS I know one can do this by invoking ftp.exe via the command prompt but it's hard to get feedback from the dos box (e.g. to find out whether a transfer was OK or not)...

Any help appreciated!
