Down the rabbit hole. I've tried many things including Craig Boyd's
VFPConnection, FileZilla command line arguments, and others. It seems
as if FTP Windows built in "stuff" is either broken or locked down. I
think this is another example of Windows misguided security mechanisms
causing more problems than they resolve.
SOLUTION: WinSCP to the rescue. Download here:
http://winscp.net/eng/download.php
Basically, I'm going to create a script file for WinSCP to use. I'll
then create (or have static) a BAT file that calls the script.
========= VFP CODE ==============================
? TIME(), REPLICATE("=", 50)
sHost = "mydomain" && "<<ip address or domain name. Example:
mydomain.com>>"
sUser= "myusername" && "<<Login Name>>"
sPassword = "mysupersecretpassword" && "<<Password>>"
sSourceDir = "upload_directory\"
sSourceFiles = "*.*" && Wildcards okay.
sTargetDir = "./temp" && Target directory.
TEXT TO sScript TEXTMERGE NOSHOW
option batch abort
option confirm off
open ftp://<<sUser>>:<<sPassword>>@<<sHost>>
CD <<sTargetDir>>
put <<FULLPATH(sSourceDir)>><<sSourceFiles>>
EXIT
ENDTEXT
=STRTOFILE( sScript, "ftpcmd.txt" )
&& You can skip this step of the batch file creation if the batch file
doesn't ever change and it already exists on the drive.
TEXT TO sScript TEXTMERGE NOSHOW
"c:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp.com" /script=<<FULLPATH(ftpcmd.txt)>>
ENDTEXT
=STRTOFILE( sScript, "ftpcmd.bat" )
&& Here's where the magic happens.
RUN ftpcmd.bat
? TIME(), REPLICATE("-", 50)
========= /VFP CODE ==============================
I hope this helps people out. Thank you to everyone that has contributed.

Of course, the better solution is to use _anything_ else.
