FTP file uploading problem

[Richard Miller]

Dave:

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this:

   libURLftpUploadfile  
"/Users/richard/Desktop/keylabels.txt","ftp://anonymous%40portable- 
pro.com:dummypassword at host180.ipowerweb.com/"

It didn't return an error (in fact, THE RESULT didn't return  
anything...maybe that's good), but the file KEYLABELS.TXT (a simple  
text file) didn't show up in the ftp directory. Were you able to upload  
a file to that directory? Any suggestions?

Much appreciated,
Richard
