Transfer files & change file attributes with VBA ?

[Bassman62]

Using Excel 2007 / WinXP
The tasks at hand:
Use FTP to transfer a text file from a Unix Server to a Windows Server.
Remove "Read-only" attribute from "Job_Report.xls"
Open "Job_Report.xls"

*In "Job_Report.xls", Refresh a text import (from the text file just moved)
*For this part I have code that unprotects the sheet, refreshes the connection
then protects the sheet. The code is in a code module in "Job_Report.xls".

Close "Job_Report.xls" and set the "Read-only" attribute.

Is there a way to control the FTP program or access the file via another
method?
Can I set file attributes with VBA? How?
Many thanks.

Dave

Dave,

I believe you can change file attributes using the file system object.
