Do you have a function prototype for what you will be using to send the file, for an example of why you need a pointer and/or what kind of pointer you need...?

Such as:
Declare Function [Lib "X.DLL"] X(Y As Integer, Z As Long) As Long
- or -
long x(int Y, long Z)
If it is a C/C++ function

whats the Er... for?

Did I miss the Point ? ;-)

(in short... could it be as simple as blacing ByRef in place of ByVal in a prototype, or is it more complicated than that)

The "One Liner" question is kind of limited...

I thought FTP was (well IS) a text based protocol... (similar to SQL)
reference:

example:

I don't see why you would need a pointer unless they are using some C/C++ library to handle the tranfer...
Which in that case, you can usually use the ByRef to pass the reference of the string so that the C Function recieves the pointer... (I could be wrong though)

Who said anything about FTP?
