Binary-Text with the MsInet Control

I have a problem with the MSINET FTP Control, with Unix and NT, the files always transfer like binary and i want to transfer like ascii.
How can do it?

Thanks in Advanced

You could do an FTP transfer via a batch file?

Just write a .bat file that runs your

FTP -N Blah....
User ....
..... <password here

Do your file transfer

quit

then execute it synchronously.

PS - for synchronous shelling check out the SyncShell or FSyncShell (VB6 - VB5) functions that you can find in the Setup1.vbp program that you can find in the wizards directory of your VB installation.

By the way, I had nothing to do with writing the INET control... Please don't shoot the messenger...

mcrider - don't forget I provided an alternative solution that does not depend on the use of the INET control.

Thanks, We will use the API.

<...fire> Sorry to see this, mcrider, how did I just know that was going to happen... some people don't seem to get the message :-(

a930077,

Thanks for the points! Glad I could help!

caraf_g,

<As bullet wizzes past my head> I guess the point was that I was showing that you can't use the INET control this way and that microsoft has documented that fact and given an example using APIs...
