    Question Bypassing Excel's FTP login/password dialog

    Hi all,

    Currently, I am using
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    to connect to a ftp server to download files that will generate my
    data.

    The script works great, the only problem is that it brings up a FTP
    login screen, prompting for the username and password.
    This script needs to be automated, so I cannot have a login dialog
    box.

    As shown above, I have put the username and password details within
    the ftp link, but the dialog box is still displayed.

    Any ideas?
    many thanks in advance

    Hi jevni1974,

    That code is doing something a little different from what I need.
    I need to download files from a FTP site to populate data on my Excel sheet, not upload any files.

    I am also required to use the "Workbooks.OpenText" function to actually grab the file...or something very similar.

    thanks for the tip though
