Hi,

I have a ftp file that changes every 2 minutes. I want to detect the
file date/time change e read the information in it. The ftp adress has
logis/password

Can anyone help me ?

use a folder/file NOTIFY API, e.g.:

Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ATTRIBUTES = &H4
Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_DIR_NAME = &H2
Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_FILE_NAME = &H1
Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SIZE = &H8
Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_WRITE = &H10
Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SECURITY = &H100
Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ALL = &H4 Or &H2 Or &H1 Or &H8 Or &H10 Or
&H100
Private Declare Function FindFirstChangeNotification Lib "kernel32" Alias
"FindFirstChangeNotificationA" (ByVal lpPathName As String, ByVal
bWatchSubtree As Long, ByVal dwNotifyFilter As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function FindCloseChangeNotification Lib "kernel32" (ByVal
hChangeHandle As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function FindNextChangeNotification Lib "kernel32" (ByVal
hChangeHandle As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function WaitForSingleObject Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hHandle
As Long, ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function ResetEvent Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hEvent As Long) As
Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
    'KPD-Team 2000
    'URL: http://www.allapi.net/
    'E-Mail: KPDT***@Allapi.net
    Dim Ret As Long
    'Set the notification hook
    Ret = FindFirstChangeNotification("C:\", &HFFFFFFFF,
FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ALL)
    'Wait until the event is triggered
    WaitForSingleObject Ret, &HFFFFFFFF
    MsgBox "Event Triggered for the first time"
    'Reactivate our hook
    FindNextChangeNotification Ret
    'Wait until the event is triggered
    WaitForSingleObject Ret, &HFFFFFFFF
    MsgBox "Event Triggered for the second time"
    'Remove our hook
    FindCloseChangeNotification Ret
End Sub

Is the physical folder where the FTP'd file actually lives on your network?
If so, use what Martin gave you. If not, then you'd probably have to use
WinInet API calls to poll the FTP site and check the attributes of the file.
