I am using the following script in excel to try and upload a text file to my server. For some reason my script is failing.

Please can someone show me where I am going wrong? all the login details are correct and my ftp server address is correct. Not sure why it won't work?

I have the script placed in a module and have the module assigned to a active x button control

    Consider using WinSCP; I've found it to be more reliable. See my answer here for an example. Commented Feb 27, 2016 at 6:29
  • In the instructions that define functions, I get the error The code of this Project must be updated to be used on 64 bits systems. Revise and update Declare instructions, then, mark them with PtrSafe attribute Commented Jul 4, 2018 at 12:37
