Re: How to upload a file...


"Clark" <ccalkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote
I have a VB program and part of the startup process is to download a
small text file containing the latest version number (so user can be
warned if an update is available). In addition to this I would also
like to upload serious error messages so I know when users are running
into problems. I am looking for an easy way to do this. My dowload code
uses "Temp$=Inet.OpenURL(URL$)" and this works fine. Is there an
equally easy way to upload a file or short text message? I have looked
through the Knowledgebase and checked into a couple of FTP examples but
have failed to get any of them to work. I can use Netscape to upload
the info (just drag and drop) but I would like my program to be able to
do the same. Anyone have suggestions on how I should proceed?

What about passing a small msg in the URL?

Msg = "?SysErr=5&MyErr=1202&UserID=32100123"
Temp$=Inet.OpenURL(URL$ & Msg)

The web page might access the Request object for the parameters and
store the values in a DB....
