FTP File Size from wininet

I'm using the wininet.dll FtpGetFile and FtpPutFile functions from
VBA, but they just return a boolean success-or-fail. Does anyone know
how to get more info about the transfer, e.g. why it failed or how
many bytes were transferred?

Phil Hibbs.
 
I've got this working now by separately querying the file size before
download or after upload. Here is my FTP module, mostly cribbed from
the interweb. FTP_Get_File and FTP_Put_File are my generic functions,
at the end. One minor concern I have is that I'm not calling any
function to close the file, but that shouldn't be a problem once the
connection is closed.
