Nadia:

I am still stuck on first base.

The code below generates the error "No Connection Made".

First I log onto my ISP so there is a conenction to the internet. I have also browsed to the site "ftp://doncasteroffice.net/rentmast/update/" to see the files there.

But when I run the code below, I get no connection. I have also tried to make a connection with this code to "ftp://west-wind.com/updates" which is an anonomyous site but again I get the "No Connection" error.

I am using IE Ver 5.5. I have tried the code under Win 98 and Win NT 4.0 without success.

Have you got some sample code that would connect me to an anonymous site so I can check for punctuation etc.?

Thanks.

Mike Smith
