I was trying to build a small ftp client application using vc++ win32 I had earlier buitl similar 
applications to download file using wininethttp. Here are some useful notes. 




WinINet enables applications to navigate and manipulate directories and files on an ftp server.

This is how you start coding 

First use Internetopen to which initiates the use of the windows inet function


   HINTERNET hSession = InternetOpen("Leedhar FTP",
                                      INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG,
                                      NULL,
                                      NULL,
                                      0);
	if(hSession == NULL )
	{
		char * str;
		str=(char*)malloc(1000);
		MsgBox(_ltoa(GetLastError(),str,16));
	}



InternetConnect to create the session handle. which opens an FTP Session


    HINTERNET hConnection = InternetConnect(hInternet, 
                                            strServer,  // Server
                                            INTERNET_DEFAULT_FTP_PORT,
                                            lpszUsername,     // Username
                                            lpszPassword,     // Password
                                            INTERNET_SERVICE_FTP,
                                            INTERNET_SERVICE_FTP,        // Synchronous
                                            NULL);    // No Context

	if(hConnection == NULL )
	{
		char * str;
		str=(char*)malloc(1000);
		MsgBox(_ltoa(GetLastError(),str,16));
	}


Next Navigation is provided by the FtpGetCurrentDirectory and FtpSetCurrentDirectory functions. 
These functions utilize the session handle created by a previous call to InternetConnect to determine 
which directory the application is currently in, or to change to a different subdirectory.

		char * lpszCurrentDirectory;
		lpszCurrentDirectory=(char*)malloc(1000);
		if(FtpGetCurrentDirectory(hConnect,lpszCurrentDirectory,lpdwCurrentDirectory)==false)
		{
			char * str;
			str=(char*)malloc(1000);
			MsgBox(_ltoa(GetLastError(),str,16));
		}
		return lpszCurrentDirectory;


We can perform Directory enumeration by using the FtpFindFirstFile and InternetFindNextFile functions.


Find first file

WIN32_FIND_DATA	 sFindFirst;
hInternet = FtpFindFirstFile(hInternet,NULL,&sFindFirst,NULL,NULL);
MsgBox(sFindFirst.cFileName);


			while(InternetFindNextFile(hInternet,(void*)&sFindFirst))
			{
				MsgBox(sFindFirst.cFileName);
			}		



In case U are wondering what this MsgBox is doing insted of MessageBox Here's the code

HWND hWid;
void MsgBox(char* msg)
{
	MessageBox(hWid,msg,msg,0);
}


Once U get a hold of doing this remain things u dont need my code they are pretty easy
