I am trying to download a file from a ftp server and if the file already
exists to overwrite it.
Here is my code:
FtpGetFile(hCon nection, "1.pdf", FLocation & "\Temp\" & "1.pdf",
False, 1, 0, 0)
If file does not exists then this returns true and downloads file.
If file already exists then this returns false and doesnt download file.
fFailIfExists
[in] Iindicates whether the function should proceed if a local file of the
specified name already exists. If fFailIfExists is TRUE and the local file
exists, FtpGetFile fails.
I figured setting this to false would overwrite the file. Am I confused?
If its not possible to overwrite a file, anyone have other suggestions?

My first thought would be to change the 'False' parameter to 0. Night not
make a difference, but then again, sometimes the interworkings of COM Interop
don't completely make sense. Along the same lines, check to make sure that
the parameters in the function declaraction statement for FtpGetFile is
correct.
If that didn't work, then I'd fall back on the "if File exists then delete"
statements before using FtpGetFile. Might not be pretty, but it would work.
