Anyone know how to make this work with FTP to SEND a file to a UNIX server?

i never done this, but by looking at the help file i'm pretty sure it should work with the Execute method, probably in steps ("CD ..." and then "PUT ..."), so pretty much similar to how you would do with a command prompt ftp client.

Thanks - I have tried many ways but it never completes - seems to hang up just on getting a response from the remote computer.

Searching the www does not produce any help, other than other people's attempts on GET and a few warnings saying the ITC is very buggy.

Have you tried using the command line FTP program instead? Just call it with a script file from a .BAT file. e.g in your .bat file just change to the directory where you want to store the file then use "FTP -s:SCRIPTFILE.DAT", where SCRIPTFLE.DAT contains the FTP commands to logon to the Unix server and GET the file(s) you want.

A VB program I currently support successfully uses this approach to get files from a Unix box on the same LAN.

Sorry have just re-read your original mail and noticed you want to send files to the Unix server. Just wanted to let you know that we have also successfully used the command-line FTP approach to PUT files onto the Unix server.

Thanks, I'll give it a go
