Hi all,

Basically, I want to be able to upload/download files from my VPS using my Access 2010 ADP application.

I seem to be completetly stuck!

I want to be able to allow some users to view thumbnails, perhaps in the Access form, and some users to actually view the entire file.

Can this be done?

The other alternative I see is to use FTP for the files. I would prefer this, but it seems more difficult.

I'm worried also about security - for this to work well I would need to distribute credentials for the files with my Access file. Unless I gave each user their own login for the FTP server and had Access prompt them.

Is there a method for downloading/uploading files with FTP in VBA that is compatible on different machines?
