[AccessD] I ask Bard to write an FTP upload module

[Jim Dettman]

No, because it is off the beaten path.

There is no .FTP method in the FileSystemObject.

Subject: [AccessD] I ask Bard to write an FTP upload module

I got a popup in Edge - Bear is ready to write code for me.  So I
thought I'd give it a try with the FTP Upload program I'm trying to write.
Said "write a module in VBA to FTP a file to a server"

Below is the original code and my modifications to pick up the arguments
from a table.

It errors out on the line  Set oFTP = CreateObject("FSO.Ftp") 429 - ActiveX
component cannot create object.

The code looks pretty simple, straightforward. Is there a simple,
straightforward fix for this?

Here's the code that Bard created:

' Original Code
'Declare variables
'Dim oFSO As Object
'Dim oFTP As Object
'Dim strServer As String
'Dim strUserName As String
'Dim strPassword As String
'Dim strLocalFile As String
'Dim strRemoteFile As String

'Set variables
'strServer = "myserver.example.com"
'strUserName = "username"
'strPassword = "password"
'strLocalFile = "C:\Users\YourUserName\Desktop\myfile.txt"
'strRemoteFile = "/myfolder/myfile.txt"

'Create an instance of the FileSystemObject
'Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Create an instance of the FTP object
'Set oFTP = CreateObject("FSO.Ftp")

'Open a connection to the FTP server
'oFTP.Open strServer, strUserName, strPassword

'Upload the file
'oFTP.PutFile strLocalFile, strRemoteFile

'Close the connection
'oFTP.Close

And here's the code I modified to pick up the arguments from a table:

'Dim oFSO As Object
'Dim oFTP As Object
'Dim strServer As String
'Dim strUserName As String
'Dim strPassword As String
'Dim strLocalFile As String
'Dim strRemoteFile As String

'Set variables
'strServer = Me.fldHost
'strUserName = Me.fldUser
'strPassword = Me.fldPassword
'strLocalFile = Me.fldFileToUpload
'strRemoteFile = Me.fldDestinationDirectory & Me.fldDestinationFileName

'Create an instance of the FileSystemObject
'Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") '

'Create an instance of the FTP object
'Set oFTP = CreateObject("FSO.Ftp")

'Open a connection to the FTP server
'oFSO.Open strServer, strUserName, strPassword

'Upload the file
'oFTP.PutFile strLocalFile, strRemoteFile

'Close the connection
'oFTP.Close
