FTP(not boring)write a user and password, change directory and download a file? All in a single line? In the DOS window I can do tihs: >FTP system prompts: User? >MyName>open myurl system prompts: Password? >MyPassword >CD MyFolder and I can download a file FROM DOS...>GET MyFile MyLocalAddress >quit Is there a way to do this in a sigle line, so I use SHELL in vb6? Thank you. -- Rick Rick,
Why not put what you've got into a .BAT (batch) file, and then (in a single-line) Shell to the batch file? You may have to use the full synatax, e.g. "cmd32.exe filename.bat" (or whatever it is). Not the prettiest solution but it'd work, I believe.

Answers: 1. I'm the real Rick. 2. The first problem is that under D.O.S. there is a dialogue, i.e. interaction between the user and the machine. So a batch file won't work. 3. The second problem is that certain machines can't download files, or at least they come corrupted, when I use ftpOCX, Internet Transfer controls or Inet.dll. The reason: They don't have permisssions to use FTP, they have to use http. All of the above work well on the mayority of the machines. I'm thinig of using http instead of FTP. But the only way I could download the files was by the command line ftp, as I explained above. 4. Everthing boils down to hiding the user name and password of the site from the software user. I can't use the Webbrowser control because it leaves a "history" of files behind. How can I avoid this "history"? Now, je, je, I can hang up...:) -- Show quoteHide quoteRick "Rick Rothstein" wrote: > >> Why are you hung up on a single line? > >> > > Well, his name is Rick. ;-) > > LOL > > (The REAL) Rick > > > >> >> Why are you hung up on a single line?

So a batch file won't work. automate an entire FTP session. Might be worth looking into. But I really recommend you go to http://vbnet.mvps.org and grab one of Randy's FTP samples. Quite simple.

If FTP.EXE can make a connection, so can you -- via either wininet.dll or wsock32.dll. Perhaps you could be more clear about this seeming contradiction? > 4.

You could also, potentially, open a pipe to the command line, and feed it standard input I suppose. I've never tried it going in that direction, but I have read the stdout.
