from the VB6 help<br><br>' Setting this URL will return only the file directory:<br>Inet1.URL = &quot;<A HREF="

HTTP://www.microsoft.com&quot"

TARGET="_new">

HTTP://www.microsoft.com&quot</A>;<br>'

However, this URL will return the text of the file:<br>Inet1.URL = &quot;<A HREF="

HTTP://www.microsoft.com/disclaimer.txt&quot"

TARGET="_new">

HTTP://www.microsoft.com/disclaimer.txt&quot</A>;

<br><br>have you tried it like that? setting the whole URL (inc file) I mean <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href=

Doh! Sorry.<br><br>Try it all in one go:<br><FONT FACE=monospace><b><br>Private Sub Command1_Click()<br><br><br>' Tek-Tips adds a semicolon at the end of the next line - delete it in your code<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inet1.URL = &quot;<A HREF="ftp://206.253.222.80&quot" TARGET="_new">ftp://206.253.222.80&quot</A>;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inet1.Execute txtURL.Text,&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;SEND C:\SourceDir\Sent.txt TargetDir/Sent.txt&quot;<br><br>End Sub<br></font></b><br> <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href=

Here's what I'm using with few problems.<br>I access an FTP server thru a proxy server.<br>txtHST, txtUID and txtPID are text boxes.<br>txtHOST contains internet name strings without the&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;f t p : / /&quot;<br><br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With Inet1<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.RequestTimeout = 60<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.RemoteHost = txtHST<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.UserName = txtUID<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.Password = txtPWD<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;End With<br>...<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Inet1.Execute <u><b>,</b></u>&quot;GET hostfile asname&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>...<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Inet1.Execute <u><b>,</b></u>&quot;CLOSE&quot;<br></font><br><br>Notes: <br>Those commas are needed!<br>Designtime -- set protocol to icFTP and make sure proxy settings are usable.<br>I'm using gets, but you should be able to do sends or puts without trouble.<br><br>I think setting the URL as you do&nbsp;&nbsp;actually handles both setting the protocol and remotehost so it looks like all you need is the commas.<br>&nbsp; <p>Wil Mead<br><a href=mailto:wmead@optonline.net>wmead@optonline.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

between the get command and the close comand VB shows me an error:<br><br>ERROR 35764<br>Still Executing Last Request<br><br><br> <p>Arlequin<br><a href=mailto:arlequin@montevideo.com.uy>arlequin@montevideo.com.uy</a><br><a href=

I have used the INet Control, but it was only sucessful when I tested for status/completion between EACH step (basically a loop waiting until the &quot;stillexecuting&quot; was false.<br><br>This (generally) will get past the 37654 error.<br><br>

 

[WilMead]

My soultions usually encapsulate the FTP command and include the wait for completion processing.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sorry, that habit caused me to forget it was necessary.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br> <p>Wil Mead<br><a href=mailto:wmead@optonline.net>wmead@optonline.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
