For programmatic use of FTP server, use the class System.Net.FtpWebRequest, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.ftpwebrequest.aspx[^].

Hi SA,

Thank you.. but my new problem is, when the uppoad is done, I checked the Excel file, and the workbook was empty?

You are welcome.

It's really hard to say where could you screw up the document, without any your code sample or other information.

Hi SA,

Here the Code,

Imports System.IO
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Net.FtpWebRequest
Imports System.Configuration
Imports System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager

Private Function CreateFTPFile(ByVal FileName As String, _
ByVal ServerName As String, ByVal UserID As String, _
ByVal Password As String, ByVal FTPFolderName As String, _
ByVal UploadedFileDirectory As String, ByVal FTPFileName As String) As String

Try
FTPFileName = FTPFileName & FileName '& ".xls"
Dim FPTWriter As New StreamWriter(FTPFileName, True)
Try
FPTWriter.WriteLine("open " & ServerName)
FPTWriter.WriteLine(UserID)
FPTWriter.WriteLine(Password)
FPTWriter.WriteLine("cd " & FTPFolderName)
FPTWriter.WriteLine("put """ & UploadedFileDirectory & FileName & """")
FPTWriter.WriteLine("close")
Return FTPFileName
Catch ex As Exception
msg = "Function:CreateFTPFile - " & ex.Message
Throw New Exception(msg)
Finally
FPTWriter.Close()
End Try
Catch ex As Exception
msg = "Function:CreatetxtFile - " & ex.Message
Throw New Exception(msg)
End Try
End Function

Yes, I did compare the uploaded and the original document.

Thanks in advance SA.

First of all, did you compare uploaded copy and original document? Did you have it uploaded, then downloaded and compared?
