Hi!
I am trying to get Visual Basic .NET to download a file from an ftp site. I
don't need a user interface, i just need to download a file that I will
already know the path/filename. I remember how simple this was to do in VB6
(like 3 lines using an API), so I figured that it should be simple enough in
VB.NET. I have found a few 3rd party controls, but I would like to stick
with as much raw code as possible.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? (or even a code sample?)
Thanks!

Hi Scott,
Are you sure it has to be a FTP site, because when it is a HTTP site it is a
piece of cake with the webclient download.

Cor -- I wish I could use the webclient (2 lines of code would be great) but
I am using the Compact Framework and that looks to be one of the options
that was removed to scale it down to fit on a handheld pda.

Thanks for your Help! I came up with a solution using a mixture of a couple
of your suggestions.

I wrote a file download module for my website. The reason for the file
download module is that my website downloads work on a credit based system.
So I need to keep track of and limit daily downloads.
It uses fpassthru() and some headers() to send a file to the requesting
user. The get.php file that I wrote (the file download module if you will)
works like a charm for .ZIP files and .TXT files. However, when .EXE files
are downloaded...

I am trying to download a few files one after another from a remote

The problem is that I then want the program to rename the file (file.move)

Introduction
Many websites have a form or a link you can use to download a file. You click a form button or click on a link and after a moment or two a file download dialog box pops-up in your web browser and prompts you for some instructions, such as “open” or “save“. I’m going to show you how to do that using a perl script.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
