I have a DLL written in VB6 that uses WinInet's FTPGetFile method. On one
particular server running Windows Server 2003 we're getting an error 3
returned. I cannot find a reference to an error 3 anywhere regarding FTP.
Does anybody have a clue as to what the system is trying to tell me? Here's
the relevant code:
'initialize the ftp server.
hInternet = InternetOpen("VBnet FTP Transfer", _
INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT, _
vbNullString, _
vbNullString, _
GENERIC_WRITE)
If hInternet = 0 Then
lngErrorCode = HandleFTPError()
Else
hConnect = InternetConnect(hInternet, _
strHost, _
INTERNET_DEFAULT_FTP_PORT, _
strUserID, _
strPassword, _
INTERNET_SERVICE_FTP, _
INTERNET_FLAG_EXISTING_CONNECT Or _
INTERNET_FLAG_PASSIVE, _
1&)
If hConnect = 0 Then
lngErrorCode = HandleFTPError()
Else
' check ToName parameter
If Len(strToName) > 0 Then
' a file name was passed in
mstrFileName = strToName
Else
' parameter was empty, last array node must be the file name
mstrFileName = arrFileInfo(UBound(arrFileInfo))
End If
' build file path to actual file name
strFTPPath = strHostDir & "/" & arrFileInfo(UBound(arrFileInfo))
'Get the file from the FTP server
lResult = FtpGetFile(hConnect, strFTPPath, strToDir & "\" &
mstrFileName, False, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_BINARY Or
INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD, 0&)
If lResult = 0 Then
lngErrorCode = HandleFTPError()
End If
'we have to close the handle as soon as we're done with it
'or else, all other Inet calls will be blocked.
' assume success
InternetCloseHandle hConnect
End If
' close the Internet connection handle
InternetCloseHandle hInternet
