From: hpeter on 7 Dec 2006 23:40 Phil The error I had was due to not having "write" privileges in the server folder where I wanted my files to be uploaded. > Basically the same code > > InternetReadFile( ) to InternetWriteFile() > > You are reading locally and writing via Internetwrite file... > Not quite the same. cHTTP does not use HttpSendRequestEx which is required for InternetWriteFile in order to send chunks of data. The solution offered by Norbert is via POST method which sends the entire file and has limitations with BIG files. Hernando

But as I stated in my post, my client (a big corporation) wants to use exclusively HTTP due to special proxy and firewall settings that cannot be bypassed using FTP classes. Hernando

With all due respect, that is corporate rubbish! How is it that they can come to you and effectively say: "We demand to use an inferior and inappropriate mechanism to do file transfers with" ? There is absolutely no big deal opening up a port to use FTP with, securing it with user name and password and isolating it with an active directory account and user rights. It's a 2 minute job. If they are prepared to allow file download with HTTP then they surely must allow proper FTP. It is much safer! It isn't the FTP classes which have to bypass anything. You can set any port or server address for your FTP connection. Their firewall proxy merely sets a rule to manage that port and access. The port number can be anything. This is really simple stuff. You will always run into complexities tyring to use HTTP for file download. If it's a big corporation then get them to do the big corporation thing and open up the correct ports and rules in the proxy. Honestly, this is just so not a big deal for them! Geoff
