Answer 1

Diego, I've used the code below successfully for years. The code gets files from the host, but I'm sure it can be modified to put files there instead.

'Start Code
Set FSO = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")

'**************************************************************************************    '***        Create FTP Action File & Initiate FTP File Transfer
'**************************************************************************************    VREDET = filename1 'Variable holding name of file to get

F = "C:\Volume\Temp\FTPScript.txt" 'creates the file that holds the FTP commands

Open F For Output As #1
Print #1, "open ftp.server" 'replace ftp.server with the server address
Print #1, ID 'login id here
Print #1, PW 'login password here
Print #1, "cd " & " Folder1" 'Directory of file location
Print #1, "cd " & " Folder2" 'Sub-Directory of file location
Print #1, "ascii"
Print #1, "prompt"
'Get the file from the host and save it to the specified directory and filename
Print #1, "get " & VREDET; " C:\some\directory\" & another-filename & ".CSV"
Print #1, "disconnect" 'disconnect the session
Print #1, "bye"
Print #1, "exit"
Close #1

'identify folder where ftp resides and execute the FTPScript.txt file
'vbHide - hides the FTP session

If FSO.FolderExists("C:\Windows\System32") = False Then
    Shell "C:\WINNT\system32\ftp.exe -s:C:\Volume\Temp\FTPScript.txt", vbHide
Else
    Shell "C:\WINDOWS\system32\ftp.exe -s:C:\Volume\Temp\FTPScript.txt", vbHide
End If
'end code
