Ciao,

I need to build a FTP Client Program. I'm wondering if it's better to use
the winsock vb control, the vb transfer control or the winsock 32 API? Do
you think i should use vc++ 5 of vb goes good too?

Thanks for the answer.

P.S.
IF anyone has an example... please send it to me

Grazie.

for ease of programming, use the internet transfer control (inet). look at
the help for the Execute method. there are plenty of good examples there.

Dear Friend,
In first place, my english is poor.
I'm created an sendmail application that communicate with smtp server
in my html page. I'm used the winsock control included in VB 5. I don't
needed another language such as C++.

If you're looking for a control specific for FTP (and not limited to
VB5) we have one as part of our commercial SocketTools package. If you
want more of a 'roll your own' solution, we also include an FTP sample
in our freeware SocketWrench package. You can download either package
from our website at http://www.catalyst.com.

Hey sal,

Try using the Internet Transfer Control for making an FTP Client
software(why reinvent the wheel!!)
If you plan to reinvent the wheel then you can use
Winsock Control (Easier and faster but performance issues)
or
Winsock API (Which would be perfect if you planning to reinvent the wheel
altogether, better performance)

If you already know VC and are good at it then VC is better , if not then VB
is cooool

Hope this helps,
All the BEST.
Shajahan.
