ftp commands

does vb6.0 have ftp commands?

I believe there are a couple of different activeX controls built that deal with this.
It would be easier and more efficient though to just use the system apis.

hi,

i implemented a simple ftp upload tool for a friend in VB.
maybe there are a lot of activeX's, but if it's not too complex I'd use the WIN built in FTP command on the command shell.

simply call the shell and the ftp command. The ftp commands can be stored in a script file.

work quite fine.

It's an ActiveX control that you need to select in the component bar: Microsoft Internet Transfer Control 6.0

By the way it can be used to retrieve both ftp and http.

Hi!
There are a lot of FTP options in VB6. Some are "built-in" and some are outside of the original package. Here are some sites to visit:

- Visual Basic Internet Programming
http://www.vbip.com/
Descr: A lot of tutorials and general information on IP programming (including FTP)

- SocketWrench Freeware Edition http://www.catalyst.com/products/so...ench/index.html
Descr: Free ActiveX that is great for various socket programming (IP). There is also a tutorial available at http://www.catalyst.com/support/tut...ntro/index.html

- ChilKat FTP
http://www.chilkatsoft.com/ChilkatFtp.asp
Descr: ChilKat FTP is yet another free FTP ActiveX that I've used in several of my projects. It does the job and is easy to get up and running. ChilKat also has a lot of other free controls for download.

I do not recommend shelling the Windows Internal FTP app. You get much better control of communication status, etc with a specifically designed control in the VB environment.

Hi, iv'e try Chilkat Ftp component and it's an amateur component not able to do a lot of ftp transfer. iv'e try several other some free some not but right now the best one is from xceedsoft

Yes, of course you get a more advanced component if you are paying nearly 300 bucks for it. But I can't really see the obvious drawbacks of the so called 'amateur component' Chilkat FTP if you want to do some basic FTP transfers.

If you have the money you can always get away with less programming skills...

Regards,

has for programming skill i consider myself pretty expert. but when it come on the fact that the component need to be a little more robust i.e. iv'e try sending multiple files ( not on the same connection as a test ) and after a few time most of the component iv'e try we slowing down and / or frezing a few did pass my test but why im talking about the xceedsoft one it's because is teh best one.

they have a great suite at the same price where you can get

1 thing i think is the most important is reliability. I did'nt find it in chilkat but iv'e found it with xceedsoft products
