I need to create a program that will create a backup of a SQL database called POSSQL. The backup will be stored in C:\Hold. The backup will then need to be zipped up into a file called C:\Hold\POS.zip. That file then needs to be FTP'd to an FTP server as POS.ZIP.
Then all the files in C:\Directory1\Export need to be FTP'd to another FTP server and kept as the same file name.
Then a file called F2KS*.ZIP needs to be FTP'd to another FTP server and the filename needs to be kept the same.
During this process there needs to be a progress funtion of some kind to show the user that it is still running.
The database backup and FTP of the backup zip file can be as big as 100MB, so please allow for the time it will take to finish.
I have been using the [login to view URL] to do my FTP.
If possible to do the ZIP and FTP without external DLL's, would be ideal, but not a deal breaker.
**Please Note: I do not want SQL Server backend solutions. All of the computers I am runnng this on have MSDE. I need a GUI interface the runs the backup, zip and ftp.
Please no DTS, SQL Tasks, etc**
