Post by thread:[OT] Sample ftp source code

<x-flowed>Hi All, I'm developing a program (using MS VC++) that will send data by ftp periodically to a web site. Can anyone provide me with some simple program fragments that perform ftp send/receive functions? Thanks in advance!

You could also use the Microsoft Internet Transfer ActiveX control - the one that does HTTP/FTP transfers, not the web browser, and not WinSock. Then, all you have to do is issue commands to the control - not much programming required on your part. -Randy Glenn E-Mail: .....PICxpertKILLspam@spam@yahoo.com Web: http://i.am/PICxpert Currently wondering why I can't get in to Safe Mode - where's a Mac when you need it? {Original Message removed}

FTPTree is an example program that has the bare bones of what you want to do. It opens an FTP connection, downloads the server's directory structure and displays it in a tree control. The source code is simple to follow and the MFC classes you need to use are used in this example. You just need to call different member functions for uploading data either as a file from disk or directly from memory. The classes are well described in the help topics. Kayode. Dr O. K.

<x-flowed>I wouldn't suggest implementing your own FTP transfers. If you really want to the source for WS-FTP (the DOS version) is available and has the routines to do the transfers although it's not pretty. There is an easier way. If you are just doing an in-house project then use Microsoft's stuff thats built in to IE 4 and 5. There are MFC classes to use these, really simple. If you are shipping a product or don't want to use MS stuff buy one of the third party COM components that do it. They don't cost much and they work well. I've used the one from Crecent, look at http://www.componentsource.com for others.

<x-flowed>The only problem with the MS stuff is that you can't ship it unless you ship the entire IE5 installer with it.

Hi! No, actually FTP is not part of Winsock. Winsock is for low level IP to IP communications (ie. TCP/UP, UDP, etc). FTP is built on top of the Winsock layer. You can build FTP routines that utilize sockets. If I remember correctly, there is a windows DLL called wininet.dll that DOES contain FTP functions. You are correct that IE is NOT required to do FTP. (Also, there is a DOS FTP command that is nice and easy to use... try it!) Good luck!
