I have an Excel worksheet where the user enters certain data, which I want to store in a text file and upload to a server using FTP. One site suggested adding a reference to "Microsoft Internet Transfer Control" and then define an "Inet" object to do the FTP. However, I am unable to find a reference with this name in "Tools -> References" in the VB Editor. Does anyone know of a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance.

Here is a solution I found by doing some Google search -
Public Sub FtpSend()
Dim vPath As String
Dim vFile As String
Dim vFTPServ As String
Dim fNum As Long
vPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
vFile = "YourFile.csv"
vFTPServ = "********"
'Mounting file command for ftp.exe
fNum = FreeFile()
Open vPath & "\FtpComm.txt" For Output As #fNum
Print #1, "user ***** *****" ' your login and password"
Print #1, "cd TargetDir" 'change to dir on server
Print #1, "bin" ' bin or ascii file type to send
Print #1, "put " & vPath & "\" & vFile & " " & vFile ' upload local filename to server file
Print #1, "close" ' close connection
Print #1, "quit" ' Quit ftp program
Close
Shell "ftp -n -i -g -s:" & vPath & "\FtpComm.txt " & vFTPServ, vbNormalNoFocus
SetAttr vPath & "\FtpComm.txt", vbNormal
Kill vPath & "\FtpComm.txt"
End Sub
