I am using Borland builder 4 standard. I have downloaded
Indy 9 source code that I am attempting to figure out how to use,
but I do not have a clue on how to begin. My goal is to download a
file from my ftp site using a username and password. The main
purpose is to have my app check for updates and download
them if available. I am already using code to download a version
information file via HTTP.

This is what is left that needs to be done:

- log in to my FTP site using name and password
- download the file while showing the download progress

I have googled all day for C++ code on how to do this. No
luck.

Here is my source code so far:

void __fastcall TImageForm::UpdatesBtnClick(TObject *Sender)
{

  int latestVersion, i;
  AnsiString fileName, updateLink, thisVersion;
  ifstream in;


    Screen->Cursor = crAppStart;
    ShowStatusBarMessage("Connecting to update server...");
    updateLink =
"http://www.aswsoftware.com/products/bibleart/currentVersion.upd";
    fileName = MainMenuForm->DirLbl->Caption + "LatestVersion.upd";

    if(URLDownloadToFile(0,updateLink.c_str(), fileName.c_str(),0,0))
    {
      MessageDlg("Unable to connect to update server. Please make\nsure "
                 "that you are connected to the internet and\n try "
                 "again. If you are connected to the internet, then\n"
                 "the update server is not responding. Please visit\n"
                 "www.aswsoftware.com\nto manually check for the latest "
                 "version.", mtError, TMsgDlgButtons() << mbOK, 0);
      ShowStatusBarMessage("Failed to obtain update information.");
    }
    else
    {
      ShowStatusBarMessage("Getting latest version information from
server...");
      in.open(fileName.c_str());
      if (in.fail())
      {
        MessageDlg("Error obtaining update information.", mtError,
                   TMsgDlgButtons() << mbOK, 0);
      }
      else
      {
        in >> latestVersion;
        in.close();

        thisVersion = MainMenuForm->VersionLbl->Caption;
        for (i = 1; i <= thisVersion.Length(); i++)
        {
          if (thisVersion[i] == '.')
            thisVersion.Delete(i, 1);
        }
        if (thisVersion.ToInt() >= latestVersion)
        {
          ShowStatusBarMessage("No updates are available at this time.");
          ShowMessage ("There is not an update available at this time.");
        }
        else
        {
          ShowStatusBarMessage("Downloading update.");

          //  This is where I need FTP code

          ShowMessage ("Update Downloaded.");
        }
      }
    }
    Screen->Cursor = crDefault;
}
