Hi,
I am struggling with a code to connect to an FTP server and download an xml file. I have this that worked on WIFI for a while but it fails to operate by now...The code is as follows:
Option Compare Database
'ftp download code
Private Const FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_UNKNOWN As Long = 0
Private Const INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD As Long = &H80000000
Private Declare Function InternetOpenA Lib "wininet.dll" ( _
ByVal sAgent As String, _
ByVal lAccessType As Long, _
ByVal sProxyName As String, _
ByVal sProxyBypass As String, _
ByVal lFlags As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function InternetConnectA Lib "wininet.dll" ( _
ByVal hInternetSession As Long, _
ByVal sServerName As String, _
ByVal nServerPort As Long, _
ByVal sUsername As String, _
ByVal sPassword As String, _
ByVal lService As Long, _
ByVal lFlags As Long, _
ByVal lContext As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function FtpGetFileA Lib "wininet.dll" ( _
ByVal hConnect As Long, _
ByVal lpszRemoteFile As String, _
ByVal lpszNewFile As String, _
ByVal fFailIfExists As Long, _
ByVal dwFlagsAndAttributes As Long, _
ByVal dwFlags As Long, _
ByVal dwContext As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function InternetCloseHandle Lib "wininet" ( _
ByVal hInet As Long) As Long
Sub FtpDownload(ByVal strRemoteFile As String, ByVal strLocalFile As String, ByVal strHost As String, ByVal lngPort As Long, ByVal strUser As String, ByVal strPass As String)
Dim hOpen As Long
Dim hConn As Long
hOpen = InternetOpenA("FTPGET", 1, vbNullString, vbNullString, 1)
hConn = InternetConnectA(hOpen, strHost, lngPort, strUser, strPass, 1, 0, 2)
If FtpGetFileA(hConn, strRemoteFile, strLocalFile, 1, 0, FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_UNKNOWN Or INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD, 0) Then
Debug.Print "Success"
Else
Debug.Print "Fail"
End If
'Close connections
InternetCloseHandle hConn
InternetCloseHandle hOpen
End Sub
Then i have form with a command button:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
'ftp download file location and name
FtpDownload "\xxxxxx.xml", strName, "ftp.xxx.com", 21, "username", "password"
End Sub
It worked on another network but it fails now. I have checked the ftp server by manually downloading the xml file at it is up and works. Any idea?
thanks
