Hi
There's a special tool from Dart that can handle a webservers FTP request.
ANd they have MANY more TCP tools as well. But first see if there is any FTP
server program available for Windows. It took us one year to develop our
special program when you include live testing at real clients, feedback and
bugfixing. You ship a new release and then you have to wayt a month to get
the responce just to fix a couple of lines in the code. Developing our own
tool takes time. For minor FTP activities such as uploading smaller files
like word doc for a CV ASP.NET might be sutable but for larger filer like
backups it a nother thing.
I fyou just want to upload your own files to a server you should try out the
new version of WS-FTP. That program can reconnct when a transmition is
broken. You have to tell WS-FTP when to stop trying to upload. To bad that
that program wasn't sutable for our backup project.
Yours

>Hi
There is a FTP plugin I have used for Delphi 32 bit programming but it is
also available for .Net programing. Take a look at the PowerTCP tools at
www.dart.com. They cost a bit but the 32 bit DLL is very good. You can
control it very nice. You can basicly set time outs and very thing as you
want. I build a system that was installed on cient PC that sent ftp files
to a Linux server. If the connection dropped after an hour or to and was
gone for 3 hours I managed to get the program up and continue with the
upload. The key is waht happens when an upload fails if you upload 800 MB
files. The upload will in 99.9% of the cased have at least one timeout
from the Internet. If the device makes an exception you must be able to
wait for tha exception. I stronly recomend that you take a look at the
Dart tools. They cost abit but well worth the money.
IS the ftp program going to be on the webserver or will it be installed
on the clients computers.

>>Anyone have any pointers / links / examples on how to upload files
through FTP? I am currently using the built in file upload control
however it seems to take a very long time to upload files and would like
to explore other ways of doing it. Any pointers or suggestions would
greatly be appreciated.
