Get File from FTP Server

Get File from FTP Server - ServerXMLHTTP

am 03.01.2007 01:40:05 von SPRFRKR

<%
Response.Buffer = True
Set objHTTP = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
'objHTTP.open "GET","ftp://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx/xxx.mp3", false, "username",
"password"
objHTTP.open "GET","ftp://username:password@xxx.xxx.xx.xxx/xxx.mp3",
false
objHTTP.send

Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.BinaryWrite ObjHTTP.responseBody
%>

Any ideas why the above code does not let me access the file on the FTP
server? Neither method to authentcate seems to work. Also tried "OPEN"
but I don't think that worked either.

Thanks!

Why would you think that it is allowed to mix http and ftp protocols ?

ServerXMLHTTP being based on WinHTTP is limited strictly to HTTP protocol
(and HTTPS) only.

Because this sort of thing would work using MSXML2.XMLHTTP object.

you can't mix protocols.

What do you mean by 'mix protocols'?
