FTP server

How can I create a FTP server with VB6 ENTERPR. Edition?
It can but I don't know how!

seriously, I don't think u're ready for it.. FTP servers are not just created, they take a lot of research, u need to understand all the internet protocols, u want unix/mac/sunos and so forth OSs to be able to connect to FTP servers, it's not just giving u 2 lines of codes and u got a FTP server, it's a lot more complicated

I'm a good programmer

programming is 25% of the ftp server stuff, the rest is understanding FTP, I bet you don't even know how to completely use Winsock.dll do u?... just cause u've used the control, doesn't mean u can make a full featured FTP server.. I'm not trying to be an ass here but this stuff includes a lot of programming and understanding of FTP and web stuff, there's a lot of algorithms that you have to code and ****... I'm not going to post again...

Right you need to understand how different operating systems and even browsers for that matter connect to an FTP server.

For a start you need to set your control to port 21. This is the default port for FTPing. The next thing I guess you need to do. Is listen to this port, until someone tries to connect. Now this is the part you'll need to look into.

Normally when you connect to an FTP server there is a message. You need to understand where you need to send this message to etc.

Wow i wish i'd never started now. It really is complicated. I'm going. But there's a little starter for you.

Please give me a example

goto http://www.planetsourcecode.com

look for this entry that says simple web server

that should get you started on creating a webserver, you can then see if you can convert that to ftp server

Lost all things can I download somewhere a complete free source?

HI Y'all

I'm pretty new to this programming game, but I can tell from you guys that ftp is a particularly tricky business.
Well, I've written a database in oracle with a vb script asp front end which when finnished is to be web enabled.
I'd just like a bit of advice - the data which populates the tables in my database needs to be retrieved from a secure ftp site. I've written a program which picks up files and populates the database, but files I'm using are test data stored locally on my PC. The prblem I'm having is how to connect to an ftp site and pick up files. I've got a few VB books with bits of examples using the ftp control in vb, however, when I try to piece the code together it dosn't work. Can anyone help?

Like I've said many times before, check out the FTP (and other) controls available from http://www.dart.com. They kick the ass out of anything Microsoft can offer like Inet and Winsock.
