Hi all,

have someone an example on how to make a file transfer (up or download) to/from an ftp site, using the standard ocx MSINET ?
I just want to make a little form in Navision 4.0 to transfer files to and from an ftp site ...

Thanks in advance !

    CREATE(autFTP);
autFTP.Protocol = icFTP;
autFTP.RemoteHost = [server hostname];
autFTP.UserName = [User Name];
autFTP.Password = [Password];
autFTP.Execute("Get " + [RemoteFileName] + " " + [LocalFileName]);

    0 - Unknown.
    1 - Default protocol.
    2 - FTP. File Transfer Protocol.
    3 - Reserved for future use.
    4 - HTTP. HyperText Transfer Protocol.
    5 - Secure HTTP.

    Seems to be "Microsoft Internet Transfer Control 6.0 (SP6)"?!

    I think the OCX is installed with Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 and 6.0. From what I've seen, it works like a charm.

    Tip: From my personal experience, I can tell you that you sometimes need to add a SLEEP statement to your code, to make sure the Internet Transfer Control can finish its work before it goes out of scope and is destroyed.

    Tip: You can also use the StillProcessing property to test whether the transfer is complete.

    Tip: Username and password can also be specified as part of the URL: ftp://username:password@servername

    Hello,

    Maybe somebody can help me out?

    At customer location I want to use the msinet ocx.
    It is not available on the desktops....
    Did some browsing on the mighty www: found a version (not perfect - SP4).
    After installation (regsvr32 etc etc) I tried to use it in a codeunit.
    I got the error: ..."INET eist een disign time licentie. U kunt een dergelijkelicentie echter onmogelijk bekomen. Zorg......"

    2 Questions:
    1) Can somebody post the latest MSINET.OCX (or mail it)
    2) Tips on how to register it.

    Thanks, regards, Peter

    Did you create a new ocx variable?

    If you copy a old variable the license check is skipped if I'm correct. At least this works this way for the common dialog thingy.
