FTPGetFile strange problem

L

Luis

Hello.
I'm trying to use FTPGetFile to download some files from an FTP location,
but i run into a strange problem.
The function works for one ftp location but if i try to use the same funtion
to another location, the script creates the files in the target directory,
but the files are empty. Can anyone give me a hint on this?

The code i'm using is the following:


Option Compare Database

Global Const FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_ASCII = &H1
Global Const FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_BINARY = &H2
Global Const INTERNET_DEFAULT_FTP_PORT = 21
Global Const INTERNET_SERVICE_FTP = 1
Global Const INTERNET_FLAG_PASSIVE = &H8000000
Global Const GENERIC_WRITE = &H40000000
Global Const BUFFER_SIZE = 100
Global Const PassiveConnection As Boolean = True
Global Const MAX_PATH As Long = 260
