Thread: Need help with FTP

I'm writing a basic program for a company to capture POD files.
I am unable to figure out how the code works to FTP a file or a batch of files. The files are text files created by the program.

I have a default server for them to go to

Here is a tag of my code

Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class Form1
    Dim sw As IO.StreamWriter
 
    Private Property ftpServer As Object
 
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim dt As Date = DateTimePicker1.Text
        Dim tm As Date = DateTimePicker2.Text
        Dim fm1 As String = "yyyyMMdd"
        Dim fm2 As String = "HHmm"
        Dim Awb As String = TextBox1.Text
        Dim name As String = TextBox2.Text
        Dim value As Integer = NumericUpDown1.Text
        If Not System.IO.Directory.Exists("C:\POD") Then
            System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\POD")
        End If
        If IO.File.Exists("C:\POD\" & "podupl." & TextBox1.Text & ".txt") = False Then
            sw = IO.File.CreateText("C:\POD\" & "podupl." & TextBox1.Text & ".txt")
 
            sw.WriteLine("POD Upload")
 
            sw.WriteLine(Awb & "|" & dt.ToString(fm1) & "|" & tm.ToString(fm2) & "|" & name & "|" & value)
 
            TextBox1.Clear()
            TextBox2.Clear()
            NumericUpDown1.Value = 0
            sw.WriteLine("END-OF-FILE")
            sw.Close()
            Label6.Text = "Captured successfully"
 
        ElseIf IO.File.Exists("C:\POD\" & "podupl." & TextBox1.Text & ".txt") = True Then
            Dim YesNo = MsgBox("Attention! POD already catured. Do you want to overwrite file?", vbYesNo)
            Select Case YesNo
                Case vbYes
                    sw = New IO.StreamWriter("C:\POD\" & "podupl." & TextBox1.Text & ".txt", False)
                    sw.WriteLine("POD Upload")
 
                    sw.WriteLine(Awb & "|" & dt.ToString(fm1) & "|" & tm.ToString(fm2) & "|" & name & "|" & value)
 
                    TextBox1.Clear()
                    TextBox2.Clear()
                    NumericUpDown1.Value = 0
                    Label6.Text = "Captured"
                    sw.WriteLine("END-OF-FILE")
                    sw.Close()
                    Label6.Text = "Overwrite successfull"
                Case vbNo
                    Exit Sub
            End Select
        End If
        Button1.Enabled = False
        NumericUpDown1.Focus()
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub TextBox1_Enter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Enter
        Label6.Text = ""
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub NumericUpDown1_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NumericUpDown1.ValueChanged
        If TextBox1.Text = "" And TextBox2.Text = "" And NumericUpDown1.Value < 1 Then
            Button1.Enabled = False
        Else
            Button1.Enabled = True
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub TextBox1_MouseClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.MouseClick
        Label6.Text = ""
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub ToolStripMenuItem1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripMenuItem1.Click
 
    End Sub
End Class

I'm going to be using a drop down menu giving the user a choice to FTP a batch or a single file...
Plese help!!!

Sorry i posted this in the wrong forum. The code is VB.net

Does this posted code compile? Does it work and you just want to know how? What is the problem? What is your question? Post any error messages.

It is compiling but I'm trying to write FTP and don't know where to start

I would say make a list of what you want to accomplish, spend some time with your favorite search engine. See if some code exists that can do what you are trying to get done. A forum (like this one) is more geared toward giving answers to specific questions and providing a nudge in the right direction. "...don't know where to start" pretty much leaves someone to have to adopt your project, figure out what you are trying to do, decide how to do it, and then help you get it done or just do it for you. That is the kind of help people charge for. (That kind of help is available through links on this site, but I do not do that)
I think you can get back on track with a little research. Good luck

Thanks. Got it done, except it keeps saying the file i wanna FTP does not exist but i definitely does.

Glad you got it done.
Post questions/error messages if you can't get it to find the file
