FTPPut

FTPPut is a built-in function that puts a file from the local computer on an FTP server.

Syntax

FTPPut(strLocalFile,strRemoteFile,optNumTransferType )

strLocalFile

The full path and name of the file on the local machine that you want to put on the FTP server, using the syntax "C:\folder\filename.extension".

strRemoteFile

The full path and name where you want to put the file on the FTP server, using the syntax "/folder/filename.extension". Some FTP servers are case sensitive, so you should always use correct capitalization.

optNumTransferType

A numeric flag that specifies the type of file transfer:

This parameter is optional; if no value is specified, the transfer type is unknown (0) by default.

Returned value

This function returns one of the following possible values:

Notes

This function requires a configured FTP connection, either using the FTP Settings dialog box or from calling the CnfFTP function.

This function is executed asynchronously, so if you want to confirm that the transfer is complete, call FTPStatus.

This function cannot be executed on thin clients (in the Viewer module) when Data Protection is enabled. It must be executed on the project runtime server. For more information, see Enable Data Protection to encrypt sensitive information.

Examples

Put the file Report.txt on the previously specified FTP server at /Reports/040303.txt:

FTPPut("C:\Report.txt","/Reports/040303.txt")
