Visual Basic :: Uploading File To Server

Automatically Uploading A File To A Server
I'm new to server management. 1) What is the VB code to automatically upload a file, such as the results of a test, to a web server online? 2) What must I do and have on my web server to get this to work?

Here's some code I found that I think will do the trick. I want the user to click a Submit button so it submits the results of a quiz to the WEb server:

Will this work in 6.0? From: http://support.softartisans.com/docs...g_simplevb.htm

A Simple Visual Basic Upload

To use XFile from Visual Basic, add XFile to your list of VB references.
Exercise 3: A Simple Visual Basic Upload

1. Create a new, standard, Visual Basic project.

2. Open the Project menu, select References, and check "SAXFile 1.0 Type Library".

3. Create a command button on your form, name it cmdSendFiles, and give it an appropriate caption (such as, "Upload").

4. Enter the following code in the code section of your form.

Private Sub cmdSendFiles_Click()

'--- Create an instance of the XFRequest object, XFile's principal object
Set XFile = New XFRequest

'--- Set the Server to which you are uploading
XFile.Server = "localhost"

'--- Set the specific script to which you are uploading
XFile.ObjectName = "/SAXFileSamples/asp/post/onefile/formresp.asp"

'--- Set a file to upload
XFile.AddFile "C:oot.ini", "File1"

'--- Begin transferring the files
XFile.Start

'--- Destroy the XFRequest Object
Set XFile = Nothing

End Sub

5. Run the project and click on the upload button. Boot.ini will be uploaded to the local server.

Understanding the Script

* Set XFile = New XFRequest creates an instance of the XFRequest object. XFRequest is XFile's principal object. XFRequest sends the HTTP request (Get, Post, or Put) to the server.

* SAXFile.Server sets the domain to which the file will be posted. In this example we use "localhost." If we were posting through the Internet, we would use the format "www.domain.com."

* SAXFile.ObjectName specifies the exact page to which our request will be posted. In this case, it is formresp.asp, located in /saxfilesamples/asp/post/onefile. Formresp.asp uses SoftArtisans FileUp to process the upload.

* SAXFile.AddFile presets a file to upload. Addfile takes two parameters: the path and file name on the client, and an item name for reference to the file on the server.

* SAXFile.Start initiates the file transfer.

* Set XFile = Nothing destroys the project's instance of the XFRequest object. This prevents draining of your resources.

Uploading Any File Via FTP To A Ftp Server - INCLUDES WORKING SOURCE CODE
I'm just wondering is there any way to do this in VB without the extremely long API or extra modules or anything - like using components such as Winsock or Inet (I've heard it is possible, but maybe that's rubbish).

I haven't got a problem with API or extra modules. It's just that I'm going to need this for a college project which is going to be examined, and I'd rather go through the hassle (if it's worth the time) of learning how to use the control and then using it in my own project. I'd rather not use someone else's code since

1) I'm going to have to reference that in my coursework, which might make examiners go "oh, this person doesn't know real solid programming. He's just copied and pasted anything he could find off the internet. Even a baby can do that!"

2) I could just not reference that, but thats really wrong and they'd probably suspect with all the commenting like

VB Code:
'FTP Transfer via API'(c) John Smith 2005. You can freely distribute this code'Website: [url]http://www.planetsourcecode.com[/url]'Email: [email]johnsmith@someisp.com[/email]'...

If you could come up with something, then that would be absolutely brilliant. I've tried PlanetSourceCode already and have searched the forums. By the way, I am handing reps out

File Uploading To Ftp Server: Internet Transfer Control Vs CftpClient Class
I am develping an application which will upload the files to ftp server.
(My application will upload image files to ftp server)

What I found is that there are two ways to do this:

1. By using : Internet Transfer Control
2. By usging:CftpClient class/ ftpFiles and related classes

I got sample code on both of these.

But: "Which one is better and effcient. Which method should I use."
Please help and guide and if you can tell the difference between these two methods.

Please help and guide.

Uploading To Server

I need to upload a file from an app.path to my file server to update files for my website easier, as well as friends being able to do things. How would i go about doing this i know Inet would be hard and would require php to work with it so i scrapped that idea. Winsock maybe? or windows ftp. Any ideas and if anyone could code an example even better i am rushed for time. Thanks for your help in advance.

Uploading And Downloading To/from Server
I have created an application in VB6 that uploads and downloads data files to a folder which I created on a website server. I use a utility called FTP Client Engine to do the file transfers. It work most of the time. Unfortunately, that's not good enough.

The issue is that I need a way to do this that has bullet-proof, industrial strength reliability. I will have customers who will depend on downloading data on a daily basis to update their financial charts.

I am considering upgrading to Visual Studio 2005 and using VB.Net with it's built-in file transfer functions.

I am working with two file sizes. One type of file is about 200MB, the other is about 0.1MB.

I would appreciate suggestions from anyone who has experience with doing this kind of thing.

Connection Resets When Uploading Files From A Client-server Application
Hi, hope someone could help me out on this.

I am debugging an existing client-server application written in vb 6. This application basically uploads files from the client app to the server. The post will be handled by an ASP page that calls an IIS Application(Web Class). It seems to work fine, but when I tried doing uploads for files greater than 4MB, a timeout error was returned. When I looked at the IIS log, it has an sc-status 200 and sc-win32-status 64.

The server app resides in win 2k3 enterprise ed. sp 1 that acts as a domain controller. I have a client app running on win xp professional sp 2. When uploading files from winxp to win 2k3, even up to 6MB, no timeout error was returned. But when trying to simulate the action by uploading a file in client app in win2k3 to the server app that resides in the same machine, the error occurs.

Based on my researches, sc-status 200 means that the request have been successfully done by the IIS. According to microsoft, the sc-win32-status 64 message means that "The specified network does not exist", meaning the client resets the connection after receiving the final response from IIS.

I've done many configuration tweaking, such as increases in IIS connection timeouts, ASP file buffering, etc, even installed hotfixes (Microsoft KB898708) but to no success. I've also tried monitoring the activity thru TracePlus Winsock but I couldn't pinpoint exactly where the connection resets because the application hangs after clicking the upload button.

I'm looking at the angle that the problem has something to do with the client program, which was written using Microsoft Internet Transfer Control (MSINET), a wrapper class for WinInet. Thus, I would like to have a good monitor that oversees the client request-response activity while connected to the server so that I would be able to catch the reset error. Can someone direct me to the appropriate mechanism may it be a software, approach, whatever! Moreover, can you shed some light why does this happen? I am desperate as I have already spent 3 weeks and counting solving this bug.

Please please PRETTY PLEASE?!?!

Many thanks!

Uploading A File
We have customers that will use a program that I am currently working on to build complex orders. I have that order exporting from an access database to an xml file on the client machine. Now I need to get it to our servers and into the order databases.

I was thinking of using FTP to our servers and then processing it somehow (any suggestions?) or sending it via email to our exchange server and then having an event process the order when it arrives. Any suggestions? How would you recommend doing it? Feel free to suggest another method.

Dim rsCDetails As ADODB.Recordset
Dim CDetailQuery As String
CDetailQuery = "SELECT * FROM client_profile WHERE serialno = '" & lvwclientprofiles.SelectedItem.Text & "'"
Set rsCDetails = OpenRecordSet(CDetailQuery)
With frmClientProfile

Exit Sub
Hell:
