Hi All,
I use wininet.dll from Microsoft to perform FTP and HTTP 'gets' from servers
for some daily data I use in MapInfo. It works ok, but you have to be able
to wait for the data to get there. I use a flag file to perform that.
There is a good example in the Microsoft MSDN samples - I think it was
called ftpget?? It was easy to modify to work on my server here.
Thanks
Mark

Subject: RE: MI Sockets, WinSockets and MapBasic
I would suggest, that you use the wininet.dll from Microsoft. This dll is an
encapsulation of most of the winsockets functionality. I you muck around
www.microsoft.com or the microsoft developer network, you can find
wininet.dll and several code examples written i Visual Basic. The examples
can be translated to MapBasic..
This link: http://www.vbip.com/wininet/index.asp points to some examples
using VB and Wininet API (I've found it using www.google.com)
