I'm trying to get text in a .txt from an FTP which i want into excel, this is what i got from our supplier support so far:



Make a file named GetFromFTP.bat with this in it.



echo off
c:
cdimport
ftp -s:getmyfile.dat


The other file is getmyfile.dat and contains:



open x.x.x.x 
username
password
cd /Prisfiler
get Saldot.txt
quit


Then i made a new macro containing:



Sub ImportSaldo()
Call Shell("c:importGetFromFTP.bat", vbNormalFocus)

Dim fileName As String, folder As String

folder = "c:import"
fileName = "Saldot.txt"

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Range("A1").Select

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables _
.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & folder & fileName, Destination:=ActiveCell)
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 850
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = False
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = True
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With

End Sub


I also have an add-in that syncs the excel to our E-shop which is only made for Windows 32-bit and since im on Mac im running a VM with Windows 10 on, not sure if this could be the issue. Running the macro returns an "Error 400", if i make a file called Saldot.txt in the import-folder i get "Error: Out of Memory" and if i put for example 55555555;232 manually in the Saldot.txt file it will import to Excel, so if i haven't explained this like a donkey, you should now know that i want the contents of the text-file from the FTP to be imported to the active tab.



If you want any other info from my bad explaining just tell me.



Thanks.
