Using FTP.dll and string variables for connection details

[richt]

Hi chaps,

Bit of a weird one this.

I can connect to an FTP server I have using the FTP dll perfectly fine if I specify the connection server, username and password directly to the command. i.e hard coded.

However, if I put the connection values into variables the ftp username throws an error that otherwise worked before.

The username in question is 'Brinkster/username'

I think the problem is obviously the forward slash but I don't know how to get around it. Changing the ftp username is not an option either.

Thanks in advance,

Rich

There should be no difference between writing the string directly or passing it as a variable. Make sure that the variable doesn't hold any extra spaces.

Thanks Erel!

I could of sworn there were no extra spaces stored but when I put a StrReplace(username," ","") before the ftp command it worked!

Thanks again
