RE: problems with libURLftpUploadfile
Thanks Jim, This is really good advice which I'll try this evening. I does put me in a bit of a quandary though as my original script now works just by changing the variable name.(no idea why) This will probably fail at the worst moment knowing my luck so I'll try your suggestion and report back. Regards Kevin Stallibrass Jim Ault Wrote: My quick guess is that you are seeing the following... -1- libURLftpUploadFile "c:/myfile.txt", tURL ,"showStatus" sending a string to be used by libURLftpUploadFile -2- libURLftpUploadFile tFilepath, tURL ,"showStatus" allowing the function to 'evaluate' the string inside the variable This probably results in either empty if the file 'myfile.txt' does not exist the contents of myfile.txt read from the hard drive --- Try this variation put "c:/" into tFilepath put "myfile.txt" into tFilename --now concatenate to form the param at the time of sending libURLftpUploadFile ( tFilepath & tFilename), tURL ,"showStatus" This is confusing, I know, but when working with interpretive languages, these nuances are part of the landscape. They have their purpose since there are times when this is exactly what you want. Power programmers use this to their advantage when the literal path and filename is not known but discovered at runtime on different hard drives. Hope this works for you. Let us know. If not I will do a little digging into the libURLftpUploadFile in the library to see how Rev uses the first param.

Re: Problems with libURLftpUploadFile
Thanks Pierre
I had preferred to use libURLftpUploadFile because I could set up a callback
to work a scrollbar, do other things when pStatus is "downloaded" etc
However, I seem to have got it working now. FYI,
Put fld "contains FTP path" into tURL
Put "c:/myfile.txt" into tFilepath
libURLftpUploadFile tFilepath, tURL , "showStatus"
does not work
Put fld "contains FTP path" into tURL
Put "c:/myfile.txt" into nURL
libURLftpUploadFile nURL, tURL , "showStatus"
works fine!
Only difference is the name of the variable - wonder why?
Thanks anyway
Kevin

Hi all,
I have a problem where:

works fine but.
Put fld "contains FTP path" into tURL
Put "c:/myfile.txt" into tFilepath
libURLftpUploadFile tFilepath, tURL , "showStatus"
Results in "c:/myfile.txt" instead of the correct data being written
into
the uploaded text file
The same happens if I use libURLftpUpload
So, is it not possible to use 2 variables? Or am I missing something
