Welcome to the forums.

Don't you mean connect to a database on the site? Do you have the proper permissions to make this connection?

Hack,

Thanks for the Welcome.
I think that I will connect to this site by a database, but I want to optimize the follow process the person connect into a site like GMAIL, using a user and a password, but after this the person needs to upload some .txt file. I dont want to connect directly in the database, I want to connect using the password and the user of the https website. Can you understand me? If I am a little confuse ask me again that I explain again...

Thanks again man.

Press CTRL+T to open the Components dialog. Find "Microsoft Internet Transfer Control" and check the box, click OK, and add the control to your form. It should have a name of Inet1.

Click the control on your form, then go to the properties window and set the Protocol property to HTTPS.

Then you can communicate to the server and it will handle the secure connection/encryption/whatever for you.

There are a lot of threads/tutorials on using the Inet control.

Man I search the INET component but I search in the internet only things about FTP. I search nothing about HTTPS. Please If you have some example abou HTTPS for VB6 send me, or if you know about I will be very very great. Thanks a lot for the patience.

The code should be the same as it normally is for HTTP, it's just doing everything over a secure connection...

Dim strHTML As String
strHTML = Inet1.OpenURL("https://www.url.com")
Debug.Print strHTML

There's also the .Execute method if you want to send a POST request to an HTML form or something. I don't remember the code off-hand, but try:
