Hello everyone,

can someone please guide thru and FTP Process in VB environment.

We have an FTP tool call "WS_FTP PRO". Using this tool, we can mannually perform ftp functions(upload/import files to/from) mainframe or server.

In my case, I have a vb module that creates a text file "empl_msgs.txt".

My objective is to FTP the above file to a secure server.

I have created a table "tblFtpInfo" (this table contains my FTP authentication info such as: Open, 10.8.25.15,usrid, passwrd, put srcfile, destfile, quit).

What is the best/easiest programmatical syntax to accomplish the ftp process?

I have:
Code:
ftp.exe -s:"\\filepath and name\ftpinfo.txt"
Note: ftpinfo.txt contains my FTP authentication information, the open, put and quit statements.

Another important piece of this process is after vb turns control to the ftp execution, I want control to be turned back to vb so that vb can finish the rest of its execution.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Giftx.
