    FTP routines programmed by VB .net

    Hi all,

    I need to use .net VB to achieve some FTP routines.

    I need to get the list of file names from the FTP site, compare the
    list of file names with the file names of my local directory and
    download whatever that is not in my local directory.

    I have to do this in .net (VB), which is brand new to me. Any pointers,
    sample codes, website, would be extremely helpful.

    Thank you very much.

      I don't think .NET has any/good support for FTP. The link below shows one
      chaps attempt to do it with his own library - I suppose it might give some
      pointers. The alternative is to purchase and use a commercial .NET FTP
      library. Just google for "dotnet+library +ftp" and there are loads of links.

          In .Net 2.0, there is FTP abilities built in. See the FtpWebRequest and FtpWebResponse
          methods. (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ebrequest.aspx)

          It is even easier in VB using the My namespace. Just use My.Computer.Net work.DownloadFi le
          or My.Computer.Net work.UploadFile . Piece of cake.
