How to close FTP connection using INET control?
I'm transferring some files through a dial-up Connection (FTP) using internet transfer control in my application. I'm establishing (and disconnecting) the dialup connection separately(outside my application) . What should I do to do it within my application? If I set the Internet Explorer settings as 'Dial whenever a network connection is not present' or 'Always dial my default connection', then I'm able to connect the dialup within the application. How can I change the settings of the Internet Explorer programmatically? What should I do to disconnect the connection during runtime? ( I tried the method 'Inet1.execute , "Quit" ' .But it doesnt close the connection.) Is there any way to create a new dialup connection using VB code?

The correction in your code for disconnection goes like this:
InternetHangUp HandleConnection,0&
instead of
InternetHangUp Me.hWnd, HandleConnection.
InternetHangUp HandleConnection,0&
instead of
InternetHangUp Me.hWnd, HandleConnection.
I'm glad to have helped, vkani. Thank you very much for sharing the working code to disconnect a dial-up connection:) It appears that creating a new dial up connection on the fly is more involved than running a line or two of code. It deals with RAS, which I've not worked with. You may find what you need by searching this forum for "New dial-up connection"; this link also looks promising:
