FTP DOS vs Windows cmd

J

Johan

I have a Visual Basic code which upload a text file to a FTP-server using FTP
cmd in DOS.
Is it possible to do the same with FTP cmd in Windows.
The problem is the firewall and different outgoing an incomming ports

Thanks in advance

Johan

This code uses windows DLL to perform FTP.
