Fw: MI-L using ftp from within an application

[Eric Frost / HR and Associates, Inc.]

Gareth:   You might try WinBatch.. allows you to script and automate just about everything in windows and they have wininet and winsock extenders that automate ftp sessions.   May be overkill (the compiler which allows freely distributable .exe's costs $500) but I think a single desktop is $100...   www.WindowWare.com   best, Eric   ----- Original Message ----- From: Gareth Hardman To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 06, 2000 8:12 AM Subject: MI-L using ftp from within an application Hi there,   My application needs to access data from an our ISP's FTP site. Now I can manually use FTP software to download the files to the required directory on the local machine.   However I would ideally like make a WinAPI-like call from within the application that opens an internet connection, accesses the FTP area and then downloads the data to a user-defined directory. The variables here will be the location of the FTP site, the actual directory within this site, the data files within the site and the directory to where these files need to be transfered. I would also like to then delete the files resident at the FTP site.   I maybe asking for too much maybe......?!     Gareth Hardman -------------------------- Saturn Technologies Tel: +44 (0) 7000 143143 Fax: +44 (0) 7000 143000 www.saturn-technologies.com
