The code works ok, but when

Does anyone else have the same problem,

Hey, great code!. This is one of the 
few VB mailing lists i actually 
subscribe to. I've learned more here 
than from any book. Glad to see otehrs 
like this author sharing the knoeledge 
a bit.
My question kind of applies 
to this. I run both Windows and Linux. 
The problem I have with any FTp 
(including that done withthis code) is 
taht under Windows any text file I get 
comes in with Crl+Lf codes embedded 
(just part of how Windows hadnels EOL 
chars i guess. I need to be able to 
have it download a text file (for like 
perl scripts and such) and have it 
strip out those codes before it saves 
the file locally. Yet I also want the 
option to let the ftp client know if i 
want the Win95/98 format (leaving the 
coes in the text) or if I want to save 
in a format compatable with Linux. (The 
removal of the EOl chars). Any 
ideas?
Thanks in advance.

found it to be very useful in 
developing my own FTP Client.
Alot of 
people have listed problems about 
getting it to log onto a remote host 
that is running 
Private Server 
software. To acomplish this you have to 
make your program han a With while 
Executing
and send your Inet1.UserName 
and Inet1.Password and it will work, I 
just tested this theory before
writing

The Internet Transfer Control is great 
if there are no binary/ASCII issues, 
but it cannot resolve an ASCII 
requirement.  I found a great article 
on EarthWeb by Chris Eastwood called 
"FTP Access through a Class Module for 
VB5/6 WinInet.DLL".  There is an 
attached project that you can download. 
 Also I downloaded a free FTP ActiveX 
Control from DevPower the other day 
which works fairly well, although it 
didn't have the degree of control over 
processing that I wanted.

To create a VISUAL BASIC v6.0

hour on the SQL database. If there is a 
change in the database, the program 
will upload the new database containing 
the new information onto the FTP 
website. Should there be a disruption 
on the filr transfer, the program will 
reload the information were the file is 
disrupted.
