Good news, Vijay. I'll remember Dave's method for future reference.

I wish I knew why you had so much trouble with the Internet Transfer Control. I've used it myself many times, and never had much difficulty. If you ever get to the bottom of it, please let us know.

Mike

In my eyes the problem is identified.

A URL including userassword@ftpurl\filename is not what you can put into the URL property of the Internet Transfer control. The user and password properties of it are not just there to optionally put this info there, it must be there. Also you don't connect to a file, so you rather put only the ftp server name as URL (ftp.server.com) not even prepende with fpt:// and you then use FTP commands after being connected, first CD into a directory then GET some file.

Bye, Olaf.
