Does the file exist? Have you tried a (double) backslash instead?

So now you have something akin to:

if (FtpOpenFile(hConnect, TEXT("C:\\good.txt"), GENERIC_READ, FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_BINARY, NULL) == NULL)
DWORD dwError = GetLastError();

"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it." - Ellen Goodman

What does GetLastError() return?

"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it." - Ellen Goodman

Which equates to ERROR_INTERNET_EXTENDED_ERROR. Did you then call InternetGetLastResponseInfo() to get the error text?

"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it." - Ellen Goodman

Tried as InternetGetLastResponseInfo(lpdwError, lpszBuffer, lpdwBufferLength); cout<<lpszBuffer; if this is correct, it have 00394BD8.

it is didn't work. if i use InternetGetLastResponseInfo() & ran the program means, it breaks the code. But FtpOpenFile() returns the error code as 6 now. where can i refer the error codes?

So you have something like:

if (FtpOpenFile(hConnect, TEXT("C:\\good.txt"), GENERIC_READ, FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_BINARY, NULL) == NULL)
{
DWORD dwError = GetLastError();
if (ERROR_INTERNET_EXTENDED_ERROR == dwError)
{
TCHAR szErrorText[256];
DWORD dwSize = sizeof(szErrorText);
InternetGetLastResponseInfo(&dwError, szErrorText, &dwSize);
}
}

FtpOpenFile() returns a handle to indicate success, and NULL to indicate failure. Since 6 is not NULL, I can only assume that FtpOpenFile() is not failing.

I missed out some FTP configurations in Destination m/c, so now the FtpOpenFile() works fine. The FtpGetFile() throws 12110(ERROR_FTP_TRANSFER_IN_PROGRESS) error. Do i need to include some kind of delay after FtpOpenFile()?. To debug this i tried to login thro FTP to the source m/c(other m/c) - it is success. But i wan not able to login thro FTP to my m/c from the source m/c. I feel this may causing the problem. Do i need to set any configurations anything else mentioned in "https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Support/KB/Docs/FTPSetUpWindows" and "http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-6345-5031102.html".

After you've called FtpOpenFile(), the only operations you can do are InternetReadFile(), InternetWriteFile(), InternetCloseHandle(), or FtpFindFirstFile(). Once you've closed the file you can use FtpGetFile(). FtpGetFile() is meant to be used by itself - you don't need to (and can't) open the file first. You use FtpOpenFile()/InternetReadFile()/InternetCloseHandle() when you want more control over the file transfer. Mark

Yes, you are correct. Now upload and download both works fine. Thanks a lot Mark, David and all. -vp
