Secure FTP (https) and VBA
 

I am trying to test some VBA code for downloading and uploading documents to
an FTP site. However the site I have access to is a secure site (i.e.
https).

1) Can anyone recommend a public site which I can use to test my code?
2) My understanding of https is that I need to have an ActiveX component
installed on my computer. I remember installing one to provide me with
access to my companies secure site. Once installed, is it possible to
reference this Object in your code? If so, how do find where this ActiveX
object is installed (I cannot remember what the name of it is)? And how do I
get literature on accessing it via VBA?

Thanks
