This function stores a file on the FTP server. It differs from FtpPutFile in that it converts a file name that is in MBCS format to DBCS format before storing the file. If support for MBCS files is not needed, use the FtpPutFile function.

BOOLAPI FtpPutFileEx(
  HINTERNET hFtpSession, 
  LPCTSTR lpszLocalFile, 
  LPCTSTR lpszNewRemoteFile, 
  DWORD dwFlags, 
  DWORD dwContext
);

Parameters

hFtpSession

[in] Valid handle to an FTP session.

lpszLocalFile

[in] Long pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the file name to send from the local system.

lpszNewRemoteFile

[in] Long pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the file name to create on the remote system.

dwFlags

[in] Specifies the conditions under which the transfer occurs. The following table shows the possible values. This parameter can be any combination of these values.

Value	Description
INTERNET_FLAG_DONT_CACHE	Does not add the returned entity to the cache. Identical to the preferred value INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE.
INTERNET_FLAG_HYPERLINK	Forces a reload if there was no Expires time and no Last-Modified time returned by the server when determining whether to reload the item from the network.
INTERNET_FLAG_MUST_CACHE_REQUEST	Causes a temporary file to be created if the file cannot be cached. Identical to the preferred value INTERNET_FLAG_NEED_FILE.
INTERNET_FLAG_NEED_FILE	Causes a temporary file to be created if the file cannot be cached.
INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE	Does not add the returned entity to the cache. If the INTERNET_FLAG_HYPERLINK is also specified, WinInet will create the cache file but will not commit it.
INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD	Forces a download of the requested file, object, or directory listing from the origin server, not from the cache.
INTERNET_FLAG_RESYNCHRONIZE	Performs a conditional download of the file.
INTERNET_FLAG_TRANSFER_ASCII	Transfers the file as ASCII.
INTERNET_FLAG_TRANSFER_BINARY	Transfers the file as binary.

dwContext

[in] Specifies an application-defined value that associates this search with application data. This parameter is used only if the application has already called InternetSetStatusCallback to set up a status callback. All status requests are handled synchronously.

Return Values

TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure. To get extended error data, call GetLastError.

Remarks

FtpPutFileEx is a high-level routine that handles all the bookkeeping and overhead associated with reading a file locally and storing it on an FTP server. An application that needs to send file data only, or that requires close control over the file transfer, should use the FtpOpenFile and InternetWriteFile functions.

If the dwTransferType parameter specifies FILE_TRANSFER_TYPE_ASCII, translation of the file data converts control and formatting characters to local equivalents.

Both lpszNewRemoteFile and lpszLocalFile can be either partially or fully qualified file names relative to the current directory. A backward slash (\) or forward slash (/) can be used as the directory separator for either name. FtpPutFileEx translates the directory name separators to the appropriate character before they are used.

Requirements
