1) Do you expect to solve your problem without seeing any code sample? 2) Do you really have any special reason to mess with VB6?

Private Sub Form_Load()
Inet1.UserName = "user1824063"
Inet1.Password = "********"
'Inet1.Protocol = icFTP
'Inet1.URL = "ftp://bbc.comxa.com"
Inet1.Execute , "PUT F:\file.txt /new.txt"
End Sub

The above code works just fine, but when I change the protocol to http and url to 'Inet1.URL = "http://bbc.comxa.com" the error occurs.

And the reason for messing with vb6 is, the target computer might not have .Net framework installed on it.

Still not clear why VB6. This is "technology" which was obsolete at the time when it was first introduced. :-)
