Uploading a file using FTP

[Terry Vogelaar]

Matthias, thank you for your response.
I do have an Indy licence. There were 2 minor typo’s in line 18 of the script of button “upload” that resulted in sending the wrong data. I changed it from:
put URL ("binfile"& fld "ftp_file") into pData
to:
put URL ("binfile:"& fld "ftp_file") into pDat
Now the variable name corresponds with the one used in line 36 and it works like a breeze. Thank you


With kind regards,
Terry Vogelaar
