Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
Visual Basic is a powerful and fairly easy to use programming language. You can use a VB program to transfer files using FTP with an add-in.
How can I FTP from my VB program?
•
FTP or File Transfer Protocol is a common way of moving files around the internet. After HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) it might well be the next most common. Normally FTP is performed by a stand-alone program. Microsoft Windows comes with an FTP client program, as does Linux. In addition there are many additional ftp clients available as well, typically providing additional features and functionality. (In the Windows arena, CuteFTP seems to be particularly popular.)
•
If you want to have a program you've written transfer files for via FTP then your options change. For quick and dirty solutions including most batch files or scripts, simply spawning the command line versions of existing FTP tools is a fairly reasonable compromise. I'm particularly fond of ncftpget and ncftpput that are available free from NcFTP Software for this approach. (NcFTP also produces an ftp server package for Unix, as well as a license-able cross-platform ftp library.)
If you're looking for something a little more streamlined then ChilKat FTP may be the solution, particularly if you're programming in Visual Basic. This free ActiveX control plugs in to your VB application and provides a robust and relatively easy to use interface. I recently started using ChilKat FTP in one of my applications and have been pleasantly surprised. (ChilKat also makes several other interesting plug in components, though most are not free.)

Leo A. Notenboom has been playing with computers since he
was required to take a programming class in 1976. An 18 year career as a programmer at Microsoft soon followed.
After "retiring" in 2001, Leo started Ask Leo! in 2003 as a place for answers

You can FTP the file by using .bat file in windows.
And you can Run this .bat file in your VB program.
I have tried and it is working fine.
Dim aa
aa = Shell("D:\ftpfile.bat", vbNormalFocus)
shell function uses to call the .bat file.
