INET FTP

[adiMasher]

I know I know, there are plenty of examples of the use of inet and ftp for visual basic.

However. I seem to have a more unique question that I can't see that anyone has asked.

I'm writing a vbScript (Windows scripting host) that uses the inetctls.inet.1

My problem is, I don't quite understand why this simple little script doesn't work.

dim objInet
dim LocFileSpec, SerFilespec

Set objInet = CreateObject("InetCtls.Inet.1")
LocFileSpec="test.txt"
SerFilespec="dirmap.htm"

with objInet
    .requestTimeout = 900
    .URL = "ftp://ftp.microsoft.com"
    .Username ="anonymous"
    .Password = "someone@script.test"
end with

objInet.Execute , "Get " & SerFilespec & " " & LocFilespec

what is wrong with it? I don't suffer from insanity.
I enjoy every minute of it.

I can see two possible causes for failure:

1) Highly Unlikely: The AccessType property is not set, and I can only see that being a problem if your default internet connection settings in the registry are not correct.

2) The FTP server cannot find the file. Try using a full pathname.

Good Luck

You might also want to try adding an additional slash after the URL property.
