Chilkat FTP will do the trick for you. Very easy to use, and very
extensive, and FREE for certain uses:

What you're pry wanting, no. FTP is based on simple networking over a
known port, using certain commands. So the pieces are there, but a client
library, for example, is not built for you to handle the protocol portion
of FTP. This is common to Java and other languages as well.

You could easily find third-party components to do this, although they are
pry not free, but you could check around. Otherwise, it's not that hard
to build your own class library to do this.

There are quite a few FTP libraries and code samples here:

This is an excellent ftp class.

Sample code:

Dim objFTP As New FTP
Dim myDir, NewPath As String

myDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(strFullPath) & "\"

'rename existing file before downloading new copy
If File.Exists(strFullPath) = True Then
NewPath = myDir & Format(Now(), "yyyyMMddHHmmss") & " " &
Path.GetFileName(strFullPath)
're-name the file
File.Move(strFullPath, NewPath)
End If

objFTP.RemoteHost = strSite
objFTP.RemotePath = strSiteDir
'slashes are optional at beginning and end of RemotePath!
objFTP.RemoteUser = strUID
objFTP.RemotePassword = strPwd
objFTP.RemotePort = 21

If objFTP.Login() = True Then
objFTP.SetBinaryMode(True)
objFTP.DownloadFile(strSiteFileName, strFullPath)
'if file exists, it is overwritten without warning.
End If

Try this:
http://www.indentix.com/ftp.html

The FTP component implements a standard FTP client as specified in RFC
959 and supports both the synchronous and asynchronous programming.
This component includes everything required of a modern FTP client
including the ability to restart interrupted transfers, firewall and
proxy support, and easy-to-use methods for sending custom commands and
receiving the server responses.
