>hi all,
>i have several small programs that have been developed over the years for different customers. i am in the middle of consolidating these into one application for ease of maintainance and everything is going ok except for an ftp app we have. it copies files, zips and encrypts and then sends them to an ftp server for backup. the line of code below always worked without a problem, returning a value other than 0. now it is returning 0, indicating a failed send, but sending the file correctly!

For critical stuff, I get the file back under a different name, then compare the files (filetostr(theFile)==filetostr(ReturnedCopyOfFile)), and then delete this temp file.

I'm using Chilkat freebie OCX, and didn't have this problem, but then I assume it's also just a wrapper around the API. At least it would return some meaningful error text, not just a zero.
