  Hi,

  this is in continuation of my earlier post about FTP. My requirement is this

  1) i will be sending 2 files with the same name but different extensions like " . btn " and " .btd" to the server thru FTP. as soon as these files reach there i want to automaticllay creat a null file with extension as ".DON" which will indicate that both the .BTN and .BTd files are avialable .

  Kindly help

  Just out of curiousity, why does it have to be a null file ?  Is it a problem to have a 1 byte file ?

  Have you tried to use something like

  Open <filename> For Output As #1
  <assign a NULL value to a variable>
  Write #1, <variable>
  Close #1
  
  
  

  Regards,

  Erwin

  hi

  thanks

  the idea is like this.

  i will have to upload thru ftp 2 files by name   mahesh.btn  and mahesh.btd  ( with extensions btd and btn). I have to create a null file with extension don to indicate the presence of these to files in the server.

  I used the following code and it worked

  Set FOBJ = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  Call FOBJ.createtextfile(c:\mahesh.don")
  
  
  

  thanks

  mahesh
