    FTP with Inet1 PASSIV in VB6

    My new Router (FritzBox) works with FileZilla only in PASSIV Mode.
    But I do not know how I can do it with my VB6-Program in Passiv Mode.
    Is it possible to bring Inet1 in PASSIVE Transfer Mode?
    Thanks

    I don't know about the inet ocx control but you can do it with the wininet APIs, just use the INTERNET_FLAG_PASSIVE flag in InternetConnect.

    An LLM should be able to handle a basic task like this.

    Many thanks for your answer.
    I hope, I will find some lines with code to learn how to handle WININET APIs.

    ChatGPT, Claude. DeepSeek... AI models.

    You can also search this site for the APIs. Like if you search for FtpGetFile you'll find lots of example code.
