Need to upload a file (file.txt) to a server (ftp.server.com) from Excel VBA. (does not have to be necessarily FTP, just need to be able to put the file there and get it back, and I've got a server on GoDaddy shared hosting)
What I tried was to run this script:
ftp -s:script.txt
script.txt:
open ftp.server.com
USER
PASS
lcd c:\
put file.txt
disconnect
bye
The error I get is:
425 Could not open data connection to port 53637: Connection timed out
Google tells me I need to go to passive mode, but the command-line ftp.exe client doesn't allow that.
Anyone know of any free (open source) command-line FTP client that allows passive mode?
Do I have an easier alternative to FTP?
Is there a better way to upload a file via VBA (without the command-line workaround)?
I'm thinking about using DROPBOX (but I really don't want to have to install this program on all the workstations that will need the program).
