Another Inet question

[GUARO]

Hi gurus

I have so far the following code:

Dim localname As String
Dim remotename As String

localname = "c:\testfile.txt"
remotename = "testfile.txt"



 
  With Inet1
     .Url = "ftp://Ftp.theirsite.com/"
     .Username = "myusername"
     .Password = "mypassword"
     .Execute , "CD /myfolder_within_their_ftp"
    finishcmd ' This call for a do while inet.stillexecuting
    
    .Execute "", "PUT " & localname & " " & remotename
    
    finishcmd
  End With
   Inet1.Execute , "CLOSE"

But nothing happens, I get no error, the appl. ends fines but the files does not upload from my server to their server.
I dont know if my cd is not necessary, as when I log in to their FTP site I am taken directly to my folder within their FTP server.

Thanks for any help, I know I am missing something but I dont know what is it

Thansk a buncH again

Try setting the protocol property to 2

Thanks a bunch

It still does not do anything, the process ends ok with no errors but no file uploaded either.

Thanks

You need quote marks around the path/filenames. So change it like this:

Dim localname As String
Dim remotename As String

localname = Chr(34) & "c:\testfile.txt" & Chr(34)
remotename = Chr(34) & "testfile.txt" & Chr(34)
  '
  '
  '

Thanks for jumping in.

so do you mean that the string should look like this ""c:\testfile.txt""

Thanks

[jmsrickland]

You were sending this command:

PUT c:\testfile.txt testfile.txt

but the server needs to see it like this:

PUT "c:\testfile.txt" "testfile.txt"

[westconn1]

no it would look like
"""c:\testfile.txt"""

only essential to do this if the file name does /can contain spaces

i tried the inet code and successfully uploaded a txt file, but it took a few goes to get all the settings right, and no error messages to point to problems, so you just have to persevere until you can get it to work

you need to get the server responses, so you can tell what is happening on your connection

[jmsrickland]

westconn, """c:\testfile.txt""" is the same as what I posted in #4
localname = Chr(34) & "c:\testfile.txt" & Chr(34) which results to what I posted in #6 PUT "c:\testfile.txt" "testfile.txt"

only essential to do this if the file name does /can contain spaces

Not always so. I have two FTP servers I deal with; one only takes the parameter as I stated it. If I try to either GET or PUT without quotes around the file/path names then the server will not perform the request (just like OP's problem) but when I add the quote marks then the server does the request.

Thanks gurus, it worked like a charm

1) how can I implement in my code StateChanged event, so I can keep track of the FTP connection and create a log.

Thanks and sorry for the low ball after all your help.

Thanks again
