MS Access VBA get result of WinSCP transfer












1















I have code that uploads a folder to an FTP server using WinSCP.



Dim strSFTPDir As String
strSFTPDir = "C:Program Files (x86)WinSCP"
Dim UploadsDir As String
UploadsDir = DLookup("PathToPics", "Admin") & "Uploads*"
Call Shell(strSFTPDir & "winscp.com /command ""open ftp://***/"" ""put -filemask=|*.ldb """"" & UploadsDir & """"" "" ""exit"" ", vbNormalFocus)


However I need to let Access know whether it's succeeded or failed.
How can I do that?

          WinSCP indicates a result with its exit code.

          See WinSCP FAQ How do I know that script completed successfully?



          So run WinSCP and make sure it returns 0 (success).

          See VBA Shell and Wait with Exit Code

          • Thanks for the answer, but the code in that link is long and confusing and I'm not sure what parts exactly I need? Does my original Call Shell() code need to be changed entirely?

          • You need to replace your Shell call with what the RunApplication function does in the linked code. There's no easier way in VBA. - If you do not explain us, what you find "confusing" about the code, we cannot help you on that.
