WebRequest Connecting to FTP

[Dennis Powell]

Can anyone show me an example of connecting to an FTP server with a
WebRequest object. According to the help file it can be done but, I can't
find any example of how to do this anywhere.

When I try:
Dim wr As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(ftp://ftp.microsoft.com)
it throws an exception: URI prefix not recognized.

One of the methods of the Web Request object is RegisterPrefix but, again
there is no example just a very brief description.

I thought the MSDN CD's that came with Visual Studio 6 were pretty usefull.
The "help" that comes with VS .Net couldn't be any more useless if they
tried.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
