Downloading and uploading file from URL

Downloading and uploading file from URL

• Dan Ciruli

  Hi.

  Nice, but still not what I was looking for. I want to get list of files from a directory on FTP for example in listbox. Then I will choose one of them to download. Download will look like a "copy to" not like explorer download. Like copying file from one place to another. I mean hidden. I want to copy a file from ftp which I coose from a listbox to for example "c:\files\" and no download screen will apear.

  Thanks

  That is completely different than what you originally asked for. Why didn't you explain that in the question

  You are asking for a non standard procedure that is not a normal windows behavior. You will need to write something custom. I have no idea how you would go about it.

  Chilkatsoft Has a good and free FTP Active X Control. I haven't used it extensively but it’s where I would start.

  One way to read a file is the ReadURL program from my website.

  There are several ftp wrapper classes available in the Files section of http://www.universalthread.com . You can also create ftp script files and use ShellExecute() to spawn a ftp process.

  This is what I use to download a file from the web.  My customers use this each day.

   

  To download from http site use    ftp. in front of the file name.
