Re: SEND and iNET control only works when stepping thru code?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

You can use WinSock to establish an FTP connection as well.

http://www.vbip.com/winsock/winsock_http_02_01.asp

I've confirmed that the winsock code works. It worked when IE wouldn't
connect and mozilla would connect.

Randy Birch uses a bunch of APIs to get an FTP connection:
http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/internet/ftplist.htm

I can't remember ever testing that out though. But almost everything I've
messed with there works.

The WinSock control does a great job. Plus you get to see and use the
FTP commands being sent back and forth and the articles at vbip are very
easy to read and understand.

Last year I ran into a server problem where IE and mozilla wouldn't
connect, but other FTP products/apps connected fine. There was something
misconfigured on the servers. IE would connect to other servers of the
same company so I positively eliminated IE as being the problem. The
problem existed ONLY between IE and one particular server. They
never told me what the problem was and it took them 3 months to fix it.
Very strange. It had something to do with DNS though, as they were
changing their DNS servers around and when using IE to connect it was
using http and the http ip number resolved to the port number 80 rather
than the FTP port number.

Don't know if any of that applies or helps out but I'm thinking along the
lines that it could be how the port number is being resolved.

I verified the passive setting and I'm able to use IE for FTP session
(copies files back and forth without a problem i.e. via drag and drop).

I've hit the wall on Inet control and will most likely use PowerTCP FTP Tool
as the demo I downloaded appears to be working well and working well on more
than one PC with virtually no setup or learning curve hassle. I don't have
a lot of time trying to make iNet work in all situations.
