IP Works FTP exmaple?

Has anyone used any of the IP Works stuff, in particular the FTP object.

I can't even seem to get started

Set FTP = Server.CreateObject("nsoftware.IPWorks.Ftp")

Fails

Any help would be greatly appreciated, the IP Works site/help file does not show any examples for classic ASP.

 

Are you using the ActiveX Edition or the ASP Edition? v6 or v8?

If you're using ActiveX Edition v8, it should be:
Set FTP = Server.CreateObject("nsoftware.IPWorks.Ftp"). Also, you'll find demo examples installed here: C:\Program Files\nsoftware\IPWorks V8 ActiveX Edition\demos\asp\.

If you're using ASP Edition V6, it should be Set ftp = Server.CreateObject("IPWorksASP6.FTP"). And you'll find demo examples here: C:\Program Files\nsoftware Sept 2008\IPWorks V6 ASP Edition\demos\.

If you're using ActiveX V6, you'll not be able to instantiate the objects in this way. You can embed them in the html page for client side download, but they won't allow instantiation on the server side (because the ASP Edition exists, and that version of the ActiveX Edition API itself just wasn't designed for use in an ASP environment).

Re: IP Works FTP example

Mike, I posted a response to this but apparently the moderators haven't approved it yet! You can email me if you like - [email protected].

If you're using v8 activex edition, use "IPWorks.FTP", and the demos are in C:\Program Files\nsoftware\IPWorks V8 ActiveX Edition\demos\asp\

If you're using v6 asp edition, use "IPWorksASP.FTP", and the demos are in C:\Program Files\nsoftware\IPWorks V6 ASP Edition\demos

If you're using v6 activex edition, you won't be able to do this - you can embed the component in the html page if you want, but the licensing wasn't desigend for this use since there is a separate asp edition.
