Is it possible to download files from ftp server using D2K forms 4.5 and 6i....

The ftp server allows download by providing user id and password...

Any help?

Please elaborate.

Thanks,

Hi Rajeev Katyal,

you can use the ftp program of windows.

FORMS procedure:
declare
l_windows_cmd varchar2(100);
begin
l_windows_cmd := 'ftp -s:C:\ftp.txt';
host (l_windows_cmd);
end;

create a txt file called ftp.txt on Drive C:

--- TXT File
open my.ftp.server.com
username
password
binary
get ftp_file.sql C:\ftp_file_to_local_file.sql
quit
--- END TXT FILE

I prefer using API functions of wininet.dll because if you create a txt file everyone can see the password and username.

But my problem is I don't know how.
