Sorry, no-go Erik, the message returned by GetSystemErrormsg()
is "The server returned extended information", that's what error 12003 is.

I need the extended information, hence my question about InternetGetLastResponseInfo()

I'm not very experienced on these API calls so I need some help with the parameters for this one.

I'll fill in some extra info. My testing is between my laptop, Win98 and an NT server, not connected to the WWW, running MIIS. The web server is simply called "server"
So my non-default properties for the wwipstuff object are
cftpServer server
cftpsource c:\test.txt
cftptarget /test.txt
cserver 203.28.63.178 && probably not required for ftp
nftpbinary 0

I can receive a file without problems, just can't send without that rotten error.
