Default how to use FTP in VBA


Hello Ymeyaw,

Here is some code that should help...


Code:
--------------------

'Code from http://www.bygsoftware.com/Excel/VBA/ftp.htm

Sub PublishFile()
Dim strDirectoryList As String
Dim lStr_Dir As String
Dim lInt_FreeFile01 As Integer
Dim lInt_FreeFile02 As Integer

On Error GoTo Err_Handler
lStr_Dir = ThisWorkbook.Path
lInt_FreeFile01 = FreeFile
lInt_FreeFile02 = FreeFile

'' ANW 07-Feb-2003 :
strDirectoryList = lStr_Dir & "\Directory"

'' Delete completion file
If Dir(strDirectoryList & ".out") < "" Then Kill (strDirectoryList & ".out")

'' Create text file with FTP commands
Open strDirectoryList & ".txt" For Output As #lInt_FreeFile01
Print #lInt_FreeFile01, "open yoursite.com"
Print #lInt_FreeFile01, "account_name"
Print #lInt_FreeFile01, "account_password"
Print #lInt_FreeFile01, "cd source/uploads"
Print #lInt_FreeFile01, "binary"
Print #lInt_FreeFile01, "send " & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Picture.gif targetdir/Picture.gif"

'' To receive a file, replace the above line with this one
''Print #lInt_FreeFile01, "recv \Picture.gif " & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Picture.gif"

Print #lInt_FreeFile01, "bye"
Close #lInt_FreeFile01

'' Create Batch program
Open strDirectoryList & ".bat" For Output As #lInt_FreeFile02
Print #lInt_FreeFile02, "ftp -s:" & strDirectoryList & ".txt"

Print #lInt_FreeFile02, "Echo ""Complete"" " & strDirectoryList & ".out"
Close #lInt_FreeFile02

'' Invoke Directory List generator
Shell (strDirectoryList & ".bat"), vbHide '', vbMinimizedNoFocus
'Wait for completion
Do While Dir(strDirectoryList & ".out") = ""
DoEvents
Loop

Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03"))

'' Clean up files
If Dir(strDirectoryList & ".bat") < "" Then Kill (strDirectoryList & ".bat")
If Dir(strDirectoryList & ".out") < "" Then Kill (strDirectoryList & ".out")
If Dir(strDirectoryList & ".txt") < "" Then Kill (strDirectoryList & ".txt")

bye:

Exit Sub

Err_Handler:
MsgBox "Error : " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & "Description : " & Err.Description, vbCritical
Resume bye

End Sub
