Visual Studio229
Hello there!



I have some questions:

1) How I can calculate planetary positions in VBScript. For example,

declination of the Sun or Sun rise and set times

2) Can I upload files with FTP protocol using VBScript





With best wishes,



Tarmo Tanilsoo

vbscript is not particularly suited for that type of functionality. It may

be best to use a third party control for that purpose.



Here is a link for the upload part

I have no idea.



You can run ftp.exe from command line/batch/vbscript, using an input

file with the -s command line parameter:

Alternatively:



You might want to take a look at the components below. They wrap

WinInet.dll in a object you can use from a VBScript. What support

they have for proxy server I don't know.





1)

AspFTP (free)

www.15seconds.com/issue/981203.htm">www.15seconds.com/issue/981203.htm



Download 981203.zip and unpack it. Register the dll aspftp.dll:



regsvr32.exe "<some path>\aspftp.dll"

(if you want to register it unattended, use regsvr32.exe /s ....)



you can then connect to the object like this:



Set oFTP = CreateObject("NIBLACK.ASPFTP")



See AspFTP2_Doc.htm in the zip file for documentation and e.g. AspFTP2_Get.asp

and AspFTP2_Put.asp for examples.



An example here as well:

2)

AspInet (free)

www.serverobjects.com/comp/AspInet.zip">www.serverobjects.com/comp/AspInet.zip



Download AspInet.zip and unpack it. Register the dll ASPINET.DLL:



regsvr32.exe "<some path>\ASPINET.DLL"

(if you want to register it unattended, use regsvr32.exe /s ....)



you can then connect to the object like this:



Set oFTP = CreateObject("AspInet.FTP")



See InetAsp.doc in the zip file for documentation and InetFtp.asp for examples



An example here as well:

http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?selm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">groups.google.co.uk/groups=tKWmLfM5DHA.4028%40cpmsftngxa07.phx.gbl





3)

Ian Morrish's FAQ at groups.msn.com/WindowsScript/othercomobjects.msnw">groups.msn.com/WindowsScript/othercomobjects.msnw

- Free FTP COM Object & sample script



To use the example in the link above, you

need to run the exe file vbInet.exe that is inside the zip file vbInet.zip once



(it is a self registering exe file). vbInet.exe is a component that wraps the

API's so you can use it from a vbscript.



After you have run vbInet.exe, you can connect to the object like this:



Set oInet = WScript.CreateObject("VBInet.CNetUpload","oInet_")

If you can calculate the planetary positions yourself, then use your

calculation algorithms in your vb code.
