[AccessD] FTP Accdb File

Was the database open when you did the FTP?

Also, it is possible the file is "blocked" since it came from an external source so you may have to right-click on the file in the destination folder, go into Properties and hit the Unblock button.

Those are two quick things I can think of.

Subject: [AccessD] FTP Accdb File

All,

I am trying to transfer an Access 2007 "accdb" file from a remote computer to a local computer.

I am using a script that uses Windows command line (ftp.exe).

Both the upload and the download appear to work properly.

However, when I try to open the downloaded .accdb file, I receive a message that the Access 2007 accdb file is in an inconsistent state.

I have not used FTP a lot.  This is the first time that I have tried to use FTP for an accdb file.

Has anyone else ever used ftp.exe to transfer accdb files?

Is there some ftp parameter that must be specified to make this work correctly?

Thanks,
Brad
