This function stores a file on the FTP server. It differs from FtpPutFilein 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 FtpPutFilefunction.

Syntax 

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 InternetSetStatusCallbackto set up a status callback. All status requests are handled synchronously.

Return Value

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

Remarks

FtpPutFileExis 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 FtpOpenFileand InternetWriteFilefunctions.

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

Both lpszNewRemoteFileand lpszLocalFilecan 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. FtpPutFileExtranslates the directory name separators to the appropriate character before they are used.
