    implement Dial up FTP

    Hi,
    I need to implement Dial up FTP and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction?

    The thing is I have implemented an FTP component using WinInet, but for the life of me do not know what the "Dial up" part is all about?

    How does one "Dial up" FTP??? does one use TAPI, telephony??
    so if anyone can tell me how to implement the dial up part i'd be MOST grateful!!!

    thanks for your time ...

    Dial-up and FTP are two totally different things. FTP is totally independent of how you physically connect to the network.

    If you just wanted to request that the computer make sure it's connected, use the InternetConnect function (part of WinInet).

    Gee Thanks mate!! I KNOW FTP n its connection is NOT connected!!!!

    I want to know HOW to implement dialup via code!!!! For Example, I can use hyperterminal for the ZMODEM protocol ... but it implements dialup internally...


    How do I have my code dial up login authenticate me and then instantiate my FTP component which in turn FTP's return and asks the dial up code to close the connection?


    cheers

    Not sure if you're being sarcastic so I'll let it slide...
