system.invalidexception error (VS2005)

[RonRepp]

Hi all:

I'm running Win 7 and VS 2005.

I'm trying upload an FTP file and I keep getting the error, saying I need a filename.

Here is my code:

Public Sub StartUpload( _
        ByVal FileName As String, ByVal FTPn As String, ByVal UserN As String, _
            ByVal PW As String, ByVal PortNum As Short)

       
        My.Computer.Network.UploadFile(FileName, FTPn, UserN, PW)

    End Sub

I have stepped through the code, searched the MSDN Online DB, and cannot figure out why I'm getting the error, unless it's a Win 7 issue.

I've done this with an old VB6 dll I made, and it works.

Can you post the actual values you are pasing through StartUploat()

Kliot:

If I passed them through, then you'd know my FTP info. Trust me, this same procedure works on an old VB6 program, but every one was telling me that UploadFile was the way to go.

Thanks.

You could fudge it. The importance is the structure of what you are passing. Is it

http://www.somesite.com\happy\unhapp.txt,

ftp.somesite.net\unhappy\sad.doc, is the username somesite\username, etc. UploadFile works so either it is something wrong with what you are passing, the installation of Visual Studio, or Windows 7. I haven't heard of such a problem with Windows 7. So as Kliot said what are you passing?

Sorry for the delay...another surgery but no excuses.

Here are the values I'm passing:

StartUpload("FTP://ftp.repp.net", _
"UserName", "Password", 21)
