i have a code written in c++/Cli (CLR Console app) that uses .Net framework. it basically uploads a file to a ftp server. i wanna run it on computers that dont have .net framework. and are running windows xp or windows 7. can i somehow convert it into win32 console app code? or modify if in such a way that it can work wihout .net framework? i believe windows api functions can help me in that.. here is the code anyways

I would create a Win32 Console app with MFC Enabled.
I believe, however, Windows 7 comes with .NET installed.
Since you are doing this on Windows boxes, MFC is still an option.
I set the character set to be MultiByte and Ignored Library: MSVCRT.lib
This will compile under warning level 4

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <afxinet.h>
#include "SendToDestDani.h"

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#endif

CWinApp theApp;
bool	SendToDest(char* pstrSourceFileName, 
	char* pstrDestFileName, char* pstrIpAddress, char* pstrUser, 
	char* pstrPassword, char* pstrWorkDir)
{
	//Connect, transfer, disconnect.
	afxCurrentAppName = "SendToDestMfc";
	CInternetSession*	pSess = new CInternetSession();
	CFtpConnection*	pFtp			= NULL;
	bool					blnRetVal	= true;

	//Create the connection
	pFtp=pSess->GetFtpConnection(pstrIpAddress,
		pstrUser,pstrPassword, 21);

	if(!pFtp->SetCurrentDirectory(pstrWorkDir))
		{
		blnRetVal = false;
		}
	
	if((TRUE == blnRetVal) && (!pFtp->PutFile(pstrSourceFileName,
		pstrDestFileName, FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_BINARY)))
		{
		blnRetVal=false;
		}

	//Close the connections
	pFtp->Close();
	pSess->Close();
	//
	delete	pFtp;
	delete	pSess;
	return	blnRetVal;
}

void main(void)
{
	HMODULE hModule = ::GetModuleHandle(NULL);

	if (hModule != NULL)
	{
		// initialize MFC and print and error on failure
		if (!AfxWinInit(hModule, NULL, ::GetCommandLine(), 0))
		{
			// TODO: change error code to suit your needs
			_tprintf(_T("Fatal Error: MFC initialization failed\n"));
			return;
		}

	}

	SendToDest("c:\\science\\xrdr.txt", "xrdr.txt", "10.1.11.11", "anonymous", "this@that.com", "/MPC_FILES");
}
