Issues with FTP image sending

[GreenKobra]

Hi there,

I've created a script to automatically take a screenshot and save it locally on my Meta trader.

So far all good

i've then made another script to send the screenshot from the local metatrader folder to a remote server.

When trying to execute it gives me error 5002 (wrong file name).

Below you can find my script:

#import

string Filename = TerminalInfoString(TERMINAL_DATA_PATH)+"\\MQL4\\Files\\shots\photo.jpg";





//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//| Script program start function                                    |

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

void OnStart()

  {

//---

 

 if (!SendFTP(Filename));

Alert(GetLastError());

 

 

 //  SendFTP(Filename,NULL);

  }

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

The FTP area in my metatrader is all correctly set.

Can anyone please explain me what the issue is?
