Upload a file using Inet

I'm having trouble uploading a file to an FTP site using the Inet control in VB. The code that I'm using below allows me to log into the site and download files but doesn't work when I try to upload a file. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

strFile = "test.txt"
inetUpload.Protocol = icFTP
inetUpload.URL = "88.25.125.25"
inetUpload.UserName = "ftpusername"
inetUpload.Password = "ftppassword"
inetUpload.Execute inetUpload.URL, "CD testdir\subdirectory"
inetUpload.Execute inetUpload.URL, "Get " & strFile & " C:\temp\" & strFile
Do While inetUpload.StillExecuting
Timeout 1
Loop

strFile = "c:\temp\test.txt"
inetUpload.Execute inetUpload.URL, "SEND " & strFile & " sentfile.txt"
Do While inetUpload.StillExecuting
Timeout 1
Loop

Hi,

Presumably you've tried another FTP client to see if you do, in fact, have write priviledges to the area?

Are you specifically looking to use the Inet control, or are you open to alternate methods?

BFN,

Thats because your file has a space in it

inetUpload.Execute inetUpload.URL, "SEND " & strFile & " sentfile.txt"

change to ::

inetUpload.Execute inetUpload.URL, "SEND " & strFile & "sentfile.txt"

Yes, I am open to alternate methods for uploading a file.

Use FTP API, if you download my project everything is there on how to connect using FTP API. This way you dont need to ship any controls with your project.

egl1044,

I'm getting the same results using your code. I can download files but am unable to send a file. Do you know of an FTP site that I could use to test my code? I would like to verify that our security isn't causing the problem.

Make sure you set the settings in the UPLOAD button. make sure you username and password are correct and the ftp server.

To test this create a free account at::

If you set up your IP address to act as a FTP site then I would make sure you ftp program that creates the ftp site is set to accept uploaded files. You might have the option to write data to ftp server disabled and only have get data enabled.

It worked! It appears as though security is the issue. I still can't upload to the site that I want to but I can upload to other sites. I'll talk with my administrator to straighten it out. Thanks for all you help.
