Using the execute method of MS INET transfer component. <br>
Cannot Flush/Refresh the cache without shutting app. (i.e., I transfer a file from server, then do a GET again after changing file on server and the original (unchanged file is transferred.)<br>
Tried .cancel, .execute "QUIT", even WINSOCK component .close set to same remote host. Normal ftp pgms (e.g., wsftp) work correctly for transferring changed files. I kill the target local file to make sure ftp is not failing on write-over. No error messages from component. (Tried WHILE .EXECUTING loop to no avail--looks like its closing ok.)<br>
<br>
I suppose I could buy a good ftp component or call outside pgm to do transfer (the one in Delphi works fine, I suppose I could write and active x component). But I have to believe that this component cannot be so limited; I must be missing something. <br>
<br>
I'm using VB 5, sp3<br>
<br>
I could try VB 6, I suppose, but Microsoft isn't known for fixing small problems like this; ACCESS hasn't been able to import &gt;2Billion text numbers since day one!<br>
<br>
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
