\nToday’s Little Program uploads a file to an FTP site in binary mode\nwith the assistance of the Wininet library.\nThis program has sat in my bag of tools for years.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe program accepts five command line arguments:\n<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. site (no “ftp:\/\/” in front)\n
  2. userid\n
  3. password\n
  4. path for the file to upload\n
  5. location to place the uploaded file\n<\/ol>\n
