Hi all,

can anyone suggest where(in server machine or any PC?) i have to create FTP site?

Bcos I have created a FTP site in my machine(which is not server machine).Iam trying to access files from my machine using FTP.For this, i have taken NotesFTP scriptlibrary from sandbox.

But when iam running the agent it showing that "Could not connect to host " error message.

Note: Database which holds the agent is on the server.

Code in the agent is :

======================

Dim objFTP As NotesFTPSession

Set objFTP=New NotesFTPSession



With objFTP

	.Connect "//mymachineIP/ws/", "", "", 0

	'.ChangeDirectory "pub/lotusweb/product/notesr5"

	.GetFile "Game1.txt", "c:\TestFTP.txt", FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_ASCII

	.Disconnect

End With



Delete objFTP

In the above code, next to IP is the foldername(ws).

Can anyone please help me out in this problem.

Otherwise, please provide me the step-by-step procedure to do FTP in lotus notes.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Murali.V

Subject: Windows IIS server?

I believe you need to have Windows IIS server to create an FTP site… This comes by default on Windows server version of OS. May not work on Windows XP client machine.
