Connecting via FTP

[DeepBlerg]

Hi,

I need to create a VB application which can connect to an FTP server and download a file froma directory and which replaces an older version of the file on the client computer.

So I used the Microsoft Internet Transfer Control 6.0 and filed out all the relevant connection data in the properties box and added this code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Inet1.Execute , "GET /mydir/test.mdb C:\My Documents\test.mdb"
End Sub

But it doesn't download and replace the file. What am I doing wrong?

Is the ftp server unix or microsoft. This makes a difference for case sensitivity on the path.

TazzMann,

The server is microsoft IIS

Thanks.

first, I would change the first set of forward slashes to back slashes. This is a physical directory on the server and not a web directory.

In other words:
GET C:\mydir\test.mdb 'This is the local direcotyr on the server C:\temp\test.mdb 'this is the local directory on the clients pc.

Hope this made sense
