FTP transfers files. Make a file from the image and then upload that.

You know how, when you start typing in the code editor, you'll see choices listed?

For example, if you start typing the name of a control, you'll see your control listed below where you're typing. So if you double-click the line that has your PictureBox name in it, it will complete it for you. Then when you type a dot, it will again show you the choices. Notice that there is a choice in there of "Image". Double-click that line, and then type another dot. Have a look through the list to see if there is anything that looks like what you want to do with the image.

When you have clicked on that, type a "(" (without the quotes), and you'll see a box showing what you need to supply as an argument to that function.

Visual Studio is VERY helpful.

Nephix it seems to me that you need to do more research friend. Assuming you have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of Object oriented programming

if not:
Fundamentals

You'll need to look into using the FTPWebRequest and FTPWebResponse classes. They are optimal for FTP operations.

FTPWebRequest

FTPWebResponse

Now as for naming your pictures well I would suggest coming up with your own random name generator, and saving the picture from the picturebox(using the picturebox.save method) as a returned random name of a function to which will generate the name for you. We won't write code for you unfortunately here, you'll have to do that yourself, we can only give you ideas, tips, tricks, and articles to read up on.

An idea for random name would be

Private Function RandomGen() as String
Dim RetString as String = String.Empty
Dim Random as new Random()

For i = 0 to 15

Dim int1 as integer = Random.next(0,15)

select case int1
case 1
retstring &= "A"

case 2

 case 3

case 4

case 5

case 6

...

Next

End Function

It is resolved, but Thank you!
But you can maybe help me, how to get picture name but no random, i wanna use username,today date for name!

ma save code!

PictureBox1.Image.Save(IO.Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData), "slika.jpg"))

[trevster344]

Username of the windows user?

If so then

Dim PathFileName as String = Application.StartupPath & "\" & SystemInformation.Username & "-" & Today.Date.ToShortDateString & ".jpg"

[Neph1x]

and bellow that i add save code? yes?

[trevster344]

Yes that's just a string for the path, name, and extension.

[Neph1x]

            Dim PathFileName As String = Application.StartupPath & "\" & SystemInformation.UserName & "-" & Today.Date.ToShortDateString & ".jpg"
            PictureBox1.Image.Save(IO.Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), PathFileName))

do you mean something like that?

[Neph1x]

ok after i make a file from the image how can i upload it?

this is upload code what i have!

Dim clsRequest As System.Net.FtpWebRequest = _
            DirectCast(System.Net.WebRequest.Create("ftp://server"), System.Net.FtpWebRequest)
            clsRequest.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("users", "pass")
            clsRequest.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile

            ' read in file...
            Dim bFile() As Byte = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes[b](PathFileName)[/b]

            ' upload file...
            Dim clsStream As System.IO.Stream = clsRequest.GetRequestStream()
            clsStream.Write(bFile, 0, bFile.Length)
            clsStream.Close()
            clsStream.Dispose()

(PathFileName)

there is my file saved!

Dim PathFileName As String = Application.StartupPath & "\" & TextBox5.Text & "-" & Today.Date.ToShortDateString & "" & Label2.Text & ".jpg"
            PictureBox1.Image.Save(IO.Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), PathFileName))

Well you need a server you want to send it too. Either a URL or an IP Address. Have you tried that with a valid url? If so what happened, any errors? Let me know.

[Neph1x]

Error...



And i'm not sure about that

[trevster344]

Did you look into the uri? The error is pretty straight forward I can't really help ya there.
