Snag a copy of Enterprise DT's FTP library:

It's free, rock solid stable, and easy to use.

but i need to loop through every file in the folder and upload it?is it possible with this?

You can use 2 ways:

my.Computer.Network.UploadFile(......)

or

use

Private Declare Function FtpPutFile Lib "wininet.dll" Alias "FtpPutFileA" (ByVal hFtpSession As Integer, ByVal lpszLocalFile As String, ByVal lpszRemoteFile As String, ByVal dwFlags As Integer, ByVal dwContext As Integer) As Boolean

The above should get u started on the correct path.

Try the wininet.dll, I have used it for some time now and we works well.

The only negative that I have found it that you have to use a relative path with your directories instead of declaring the directory you want to use.

You will probably want to do search on wininet.dll and look at some more complete examples.

Hey Arznrchrd, that's a cool trick with my.Computer.Network.UploadFile(......)

I never knew that was buried in there. Thanks!

Yeah, for simple uploads works well. I would recommend encrypting the password in the app.config file as well. Glad I could be of assistance.
