'  In this example, assume that a previous FTP upload failed,
'  and the incomplete file (bigFile.zip) exists on the FTP server.
'  You only need to set the RestartNext property to resume
'  the upload.  When RestartNext is set, the next call
'  to PutFile (or PutFileFromBinaryData, PutFileFromTextData)
'  will automatically resume the upload from the point of failure.
'  (The way it works is that the FTP component sends a "SIZE"
'  command to the FTP server to find out how many bytes of
'  the file already exist on the server.  It then begins
'  uploading from that point.

'  Note: After PutFile is called, the RestartNext property
'  is automatically set to false.
ftp.RestartNext = 1

'  Upload a file with restart.
localFilename = "bigFile.zip"
remoteFilename = "bigFile.zip"

success = ftp.PutFile(localFilename,remoteFilename)
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write ftp.LastErrorText & "<br>"

End If

ftp.Disconnect 

Response.Write "File Uploaded!" & "<br>"
