FTP upload using the Microsoft Internet Transfer Control

Thanks in advance for any help I can get here.

Does anyone know of any good end to end tutorials for the Microsoft Internet Transfer Control. I'm trying to include a function that will allow upload of items to an FTP server. I've got the basic functionality down, but I dont understand exactly how I can monitor the progress of the upload. If I can find a good tutorial, I'm pretty sure I can figure the rest out for myself. All the documentation I can find on the internet falls far short of helpful.

Alternatively, if anyone can post a code snippet that will allow me to upload a file to an ftp server within a subdirectory of the root and monitor the progress of that upload, that would be awesome.

Thanks,

Ben

Well, thanks for that succinct answer...I guess what I have will have to do then for now until I figure something else out. Does the Winsock control allow the monitoring of an upload?
Thanks

The winsock control will allow you to monitor the upload and download. You will have to manage all aspects of the ftp session though. This means communication on both the control and data channel and handling ftp response codes manually. It is literally a hundred fold more complex than using the Inet control. There are many good examples of how to do this on the web and here in EE.
