Just a thought but have you tried using FtpSetCurrentDirectory to change to the remote directory rather than trying to specify it with its path in the original call?

FTP using wininit.dll
Long shot I daresay but anyone ever used the InternetConnect API call for FTP that uses wininit.dll. ?
Using:
lngINetConn = InternetConnect(lngINet, "www.gatekeeperel.co.uk", 0, "myid", "mypwd", 1, 0, 0)
blnRC = FtpGetFile(lngINetConn, "blahblah/info.html", "info.html", 0, 0, 1, 0)
The FtpGetFile fails returning 0 but the darn file is there on the host in that directory. If I do exact equivalent with MS's FTP test site, it works fine.
lngINetConn = InternetConnect(lngINet, "ftp.microsoft.com", 0, "anonymous", "wally@wallyworld.com", 1, 0, 0)
blnRC = FtpGetFile(lngINetConn, "MISC/INDEX.TXT", " index.txt", 0, 0, 1, 0)
Have tried setting dir/file permission on my site as on MS site but nowt.
Cheers for any ideas.Tags: None
