Hi, I am trying to access files on ftp server using Wininet Apis. 1. I am accessing internet through proxy server. 2. There is a ftp server which gives only read access. when I am using following string in URL to access ftp server , I can see the file/ folders on ftp server i.e connection successful. string:-> ftp://username:password@xyz.com but I cannot establish ftp session through Wininet APIs. hInetOpen=InternetOpen(_T("ProxyTest"), INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG, NULL, NULL, 0); InternetSetOption(hInetOpen, INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY_USERNAME, strUsername, _tcslen(strUsername)+1); InternetSetOption(hInetOpen, INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY_PASSWORD, strPassword, _tcslen(strPassword)+1); hInetConnect=InternetConnect(hInetOpen, _T("xyz.com"), INTERNET_INVALID_PORT_NUMBER, _T("username"), _T("password"), INTERNET_SERVICE_FTP,INTERNET_FLAG_PASSIVE ,0); I am getting hInetConnect = NULL. Please specify where I am getting wrong or any extra things need to be executed. Regards, Sameer.

I think you should put 21 instead of INTERNET_INVALID_PORT_NUMBER :-D

I think you should put 21 instead of INTERNET_INVALID_PORT_NUMBER :-D
when INTERNET_SERVICE_FTP is used in InternetConnect that time INTERNET_INVALID_PORT_NUMBER is taken as 21. Is there any other issue that needs to be looked into?
