Hi,

i am wanting to ftp files to a web server and i thought of using vdsinet.dll...the procedure seems easy enough and straightforward...however, how do i know that a file has been successfully transfered or that the transfer has been completed?

thanks in advance,

Serge

ps i need to set up my program with a button to initiate the ftp transfer and a popup to tell me that the transfer is complete ie. no lists...

The vdsinet.dll uses something that is simulair to vdsipp.dll. In steed of FTP<ftp client>ONPUTFILEDONE, vdsinet will wait until the file is completly uploaded... And to see if it is succesfully transfered you can use the @NET(FTP, DIRENTRY) function...

I must agree with Tsunami1988

VDSIPP is the one to go for!

I agree -- I tried both and agree!

The only downside of vdsipp is that if you stop your program (with the STOP button, or because of a bug), you have the chance that VDS will crash....

Even I have to agree, at least for HTTP, FTP, POP3 etc.... VDSIPP is open source too.

an update - i've been able to do what i've wanted to do with vdsipp.dll - thanks for suggesting it

i'd like to offer a big public thank you to all those who have written dlls for vds for us to use free of charge, dlls that have seriously extended the capabilities and functionality of vds, dlls without which vds would have been diminished in its power Very Happy
