    Resolved [Resolved] FTP using Winsock

    I am making a simple FTP file uploader/downloader using winsock (only thing left to put in is error handling) and i've just noticed that when i upload a file (in this case it was an access db) and download it, the file grows (from 983,042 to 984,066 bytes) why might this be? i have attached the project, it consists of my winsockftp class and an interface form.

    Re: FTP using Winsock

    Found out where the problem is... but i dont really know what to do about it. By testing uploads and downloads i found the following using the Open.. for Output method to save the downloaded data:

    original 984064
    download 984066 (+2)
    upload 985088 (+1022)
    download 985090 (+2)
    upload 986112 (+1022)

    the gaining two bytes each download made me think that the file print method was adding a vbCrLf to the file when i saved it so i switched to using binary and the put method and this resulted in the following filesizes:

    original 984064
    download 984064 (+0)
    upload 985088 (+1024)
    download 985088 (+0)
    upload 986112 (+1024)

    so i think this is something to do with the fact i'm reading 1024 bytes at a time from the local file before uploading it... but i dont know where to go from here. any help
