MemberTrying to FTP some files to a secure FTP site using Wininet dll. I can logon to site via IE with url/userid/password and manually upload with no problem. When I try using Wininet dll, I get 'internet connection error' 12007 which means 'internet name not resolved'. This has had me stumped for weeks now. I've tried everything. Documentation from MS is pretty vague. Anyone got any ideas? I've tried using host name with https: prefix and without, also with sftp: prefix, I've tried using passive connection and non passive. Tried FTP port and HTTP port, tried ftp service and http service. I admit I'm no FTP expert, I just need to copy some files from A to B, seems like it should not be this difficult. Thanks.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to exchange and manipulate files over a TCP/IP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and utilizes separate control and data connections between the client and server applications. FTP is used with user-based password authentication or with anonymous user access

Applications were originally interactive command-line tools with a standardized command syntax, but graphical user interfaces have been developed for all desktop operating systems in use today. The original specification of the File Transfer Protocol was published as RFC 114 on 16 April 1971 and later replaced by RFC 765 (June 1980) and RFC 959 (October 1985)(Clark, 2003, p.416), the current specification. Several proposed standards amend RFC 959, for example RFC 2228 (June 1997) proposes security extensions and RFC 2428 (September 1998) adds support for IPv6 and defines a new type of passive mode.
