Topic: ASP FTP Store Not working

I have created a script to ftp files from the hard drive of a machine to a server. When I use the 'store' method the object I selected (using an HTML File Field) is created on the server but always at zero bytes. Any ideas?

It sounds like there may be a problem with the name specified for the file. What happens if you hardcode the name in the script? For example, does the following work after changing the variables' values?
-ken

<%
dim ftp
dim host
dim user
dim pass
dim file
dim localPath

set ftp = Server.CreateObject ("Dart.Ftp.1")

host = ""
user = ""
pass = ""
localPath = "c:\Test\"
file = "file.txt"

ftp.Login host, user, pass
ftp.Store file, localpath & file
ftp.Logout

Response.Write "Done."
%>

No. The contents of the text file would have changed from 'Hello World' to "c:\test\file.txt".

I think I know whats wrong. If the script is running on a web server, when I enter a path of c:\test\file.txt isn't that looking for the file on the servers hard drive rather than on my PC's?
If this is the case is there any way to achive ftp from my PC to the server running ASP on the server or do I have to do this in VB?

Indeed it is.
You would have to somehow transfer the file to the machine running the script first.
