VBScript Code:
Option Explicit

' Upload the file "test.txt" from the current (local) directory to
' "ftp.myServer.myTld/www/testdir/test.txt"; create the directory
' "testdir" if it doesn't exist; login as "myid" with password "secret".
WScript.Echo FTPUpload( "test.txt", "/www/testdir", _
                        "ftp.myServer.myTld", _
                        "myid", "secret", True )


Function FTPUpload( locFile, targetDir, host, user, password, blnMkDir )
' This function uses the free ChilkatFTP ActiveX component
' to upload a single file.
' The remote directory can be specified, but the remote
' file name will be the same as the local file name.
' The function is based on Chilkat's own sample for the ChilkatFTP2 component
' (which is not free): http://www.example-code.com/vbscript/ftpPutFile.asp
'
' Arguments:
' locFile    [string]   the (path and) file name of the file to be uploaded
' targetDir  [string]   the (relative) path of the remote target directory;
'                       if empty, the current remote directory will be used
' host       [string]   the remote host name (e.g. "ftp.mydomain.org")
' user       [string]   the login name for the remote host
' password   [string]   the password for the login account
' blnMkDir   [boolean]  if True, the remote directory will be created if it
'                       doesn't exist, otherwise the function will fail if
'                       the remote directory doesn't exist
'
' The ChilkatFTP ActiveX component can be downloaded from:
' http://www.chilkatsoft.com/download/FtpActiveX.msi
' Documentation can be found at:
