asp_web_howto thread: Server Status Check and FTP

Hi, could any one please help me?!
I have a ASP page that automatically FTP's XML pages to another server but
recently the recieving server has been down causing an error on our pages.
I am using a Stored Proceedure to run a batch file when FTPing across.
Is there anyway I could check to make sure the server I'll be sending the
files to is up and running?
Obviously if it isn't ok I don't want to FTP the pages over as it causes
an error. Any ideas... many thanks in advance.

You could ping it. But then again, they could still be down. I would try
to telnet on port 21 and see if you get a ftp status 220 back (I think
its 220) and then you are ready to go.
You would need to use a com object, and at that I don't know if you can
use the winsock control... (I have had no formal training on anything
computer... I just kinda hack it all... Anyway im only 16 so I have time
I guess) so I don't know about using ocx's in com objects of if that can
be done. I never tried.

If you use Wininet control in VB, you can check the status of
connection and even the status of every single file transfer. e.g.
hOpen = InternetOpen(scUserAgent, INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PROXY, Proxy,
vbNullString, 0)
hConnection = InternetConnect(hOpen, Server, 21, Username, Password,
INTERNET_SERVICE_FTP, 0, 0)
---------------------------------------------
If hConnection = False Then
fileLog.writeline Now & " - " & "A connection to server could not
be established."
lblErrors.Caption = "A connection to server could not be
established."
InternetCloseHandle (hOpen)
Exit Sub
End If
----------------------------------------------
