Thread: WinInet Error Code #6

  1. #1

    Default WinInet Error Code #6

    I get this when attempting upload.. (FTP has worked in the past.)

    This a bit cryptic, esp. since WinInet errors start at 12000!
    Translation?

    Steve,

    Nothing changed in the FTP feature for more than one year now so it's
    something at your end.

    Error 6 in this case is Windows Error Code 6 (ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE). I
    assume your FTP Location specification is incorrect. What do you have in
    your FTP field?

    Yep, someone has changed the login on me...

    But my other point is that the legend should not read "WinInet Error Code" -
    because '6' is not one of those.
    It's not even a standard FTP error no. (550 in this case).
    It would be a good idea to use one of the standard ftp-related codes, rather
    than the generic Windows error, imo... since it allows more detailed
    analysis of error.

    Steve,

    WinInet returns 0 in this case and the only available error code is via
    GetLastError(), which returned 6 on your machine. There is no other error
    code provided, so there is no way to give you more information!

    We'll change "WinInet Error Code" to "Error Code".
