That is why you should use GetLastError: to find out why it failed.

That should be easy to test by using the ftp prompt from a command window.

Based on results when I searched on how to utilize GetLastError, I found that it was not recommended because basic makes a lot of other API calls that will displace the error. So, the suggestion was to use Err.LastDllError.
I did that and got an error of 12002, Time out. So, that seems to verify my presumption that it's the port address setting.
Port 21 is failing, because the server isn't listening to that port - for security reasons - and I'm not successfully changing the port address to 22, the one it is listening to.
So, I guess my bottom line question is, how do I change the port address using InternetConnectionA in wininet.dll? The methods that I tried all failed, so I'm doing something wrong.

Looking at the documentation it appears that you can't, which is pretty damn stupid on Microsoft's part. So I am afraid it looks like you are going to have to find some other way around this, probably by switching to a language like C,C++ or C# which will allow you greater control. However, take a look at SFTP Client Libraries - SFTP.net[^].

The observation on Microsoft is spot on.
I've come across several snippets of code while doing my searches that specify a port address in nServerPort and, they claim, it works for them. Of course, that presumes that everything you see on the internets is accurate and without error.
I mean, it is, right?
But, there must be a way. For example, FileZilla does it, so there is some way to change the ports. Given that the wininet library is for C and VBasic, I figure, if C can do it, VBasic should, too. 'Course, that idea is rapidly sinking into the murk.
I'll look at your link, but C is not an option for me, as far as I know. This code is for an Excel macro as part of a data processing routine and I don't know that Excel macros can use C.
Thanx for your help, though. It's far better than I've gotten from the SQL Server community or MrExcel.

I expect that FileZilla, and similar apps, do not use the wininet library, but use basic Windows sockets. But I don't think you can do that from VBA. Sorry, I cannot help more.

*sigh*
The more computers make things convenient, the more they make them inconvenient...
Thanx, though, for your help!

SFTP upload with VBA - Stack Overflow[^] presents a solution using putty's stfp client. There does not seem to be an excel-integrated solution as of today.

Thanx, but that's not a solution.
The problem is that we receive files from a client covering a weeklong window of daily files. Unfortunately, whatever automation routine they use saves each daily file with the same name, so each successive file has '_X' where 'X' is an incremental values for each new file past the first appended to the name. That means, I have to manually rename the files, substituting the file's creation date in place of the '_X', download them and then move the originals to an archive folder on the SFTP site.
At the moment, I'm doing it manually with FileZilla, but I'm wanting to automate my end to cut down on manual manipulation. I want to expand on a current Excel macro that is already part of the process to take on this task.
For me, the putty solution might work - looking at the link, I don't see where I define the port address, unless it's just by appending ':22' to pHost. But, I have to make this code accessible to everyone, in case I am out and my backup has to do my task. I don't always know who that would be and they may not have the rights to add putty to their system.
But, thanx again for the response.

Check for System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory Namespace[^] which contains all objects / structs / enums you need to handle Active Directory operations in .NET.

i want to know whether it is possible to program calculation of marks in a a quiz show where 6 teams
participate. once the score button is clicked the core of each team should be shown in descending order of marks. If so how the coding should be. I am a student cum teacher. Now studying VB. Got a project to do so. But there is no way I could find a solution after going through the different sites.

Yes, it's possible. It's not even particularly difficult.
But ... Please don't repost if your question does not appear immediately: all of these went to moderation and required a human being to review them for publication. In order to prevent you being kicked off as a spammer, both had to be accepted, and then I have to clean up the spares. Have a little patience, please!
I've deleted the spare ...

As long as it use logical rules and mathematics, it is possible and with about any programming language.
But for this, you need to learn programming, but we can't teach you in the scope of this forum.
Advice: solve the problem by hand, the procedure you followed is basically your algorithm.

how to search record in gridview in vb 6.0
|

You normally would never search the gridview itself. You search the data source the grid is bound to.

When exporting data from SQL Server to Excel, when a field size is large e.g. varchar() might cause the error below:
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.

|

|

Is that supposed to be a question or a statement?

Please google: "excel maximum cell text length"

hi there.
im creating a label sequencer for 3 produts and i'm trying this but with no success
sql_query.CommandText = "insert into tablelabel02 with (tablockx) (nome_posto, ordemfabrico, serialnumber, referencia,dataetiqueta,qrgerado,data,operador,posx,posy,impressora,controlo)output inserted.qrgerado
values (@posto, @ordemfabrico, next value for '" & sequenceID & "' , @refcode, replace(cast(convert(varchar,getdate(),5) as varchar(10)),'-','/'),
@refcode+replace(cast(convert(varchar,getdate(),5)as varchar(10)),'-','')+right('000'+cast((next value for '" & sequenceID & "' )as varchar (4)),4), getdate(), @operador,@labelx,@labely, @impressora, 'xx' );"
for each product i have created a sequence in ms sql, so when i inserted the production order number, i can sort what sequencer to use but i cant use it as sequenceID variable.
i tried
next value for seq_a and it works.
with
next value for '" & sequenceID & "' not working
in resume:
i want to use next value for @variable if possible

Can you define not working? It will be helpful if you can share the error message.

I wanted to use next value for X where x is a variable and not have to put the name of the sequence table

Currently I have this:
Private Sub btnCount_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnCount.Click
Dim arrsize = rtbDHCP_lease.Lines.Length - 1
Dim MyNum(arrsize)
For I = 1 To arrsize
MyNum(I) = rtbDHCP_lease.Lines(I).Substring(41, (rtbDHCP_lease.Lines(I).IndexOf(".", 41) - 41))
ProgressBar1.Value = (I / arrsize) * 100
Next
Dim query = From item In MyNum
Order By item
Group By vlans = item
Into vlans_count = Group, Count()
For Each result In query
dgvDHCPcount.Rows.Add(New Integer() {result.vlans, result.Count})
Next
End Sub
It takes a long time to go through the richtextbox especially if it has a large amount of lines. Is there a process the can speed it up?
Thanks in advance.

First question.
Why are you using a RTB as a data storage structure? That text should be parsed to grab the data out of the text file itself and not from the RTB.
The mistake most people new to writing code in a GUI environment is treating visual controls as workable containers for data structures and data storage. That's not what they are for and will only make parsing and working with the data much, much slower.
So where did the data you put in the RTB come from?
