Ftp Client Help

[jonathandrott]

Hi, all. new to this ftp stuff. i found this information on the msdn,
but i don't understand some things. why won't this code resolve to a
IP based ftp server? how can i download everything at this site
without a GUI? Thanks ahead of time.

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Text

Public Class SimpleFTPClient
Public Function download() As FtpStatusCode
Try

sqlUser = "xxx"
sqlPass = "xxx"
sqlIP = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

Dim ftpRequest As FtpWebRequest =
CType(WebRequest.Create(sqlIP), FtpWebRequest)

ftpRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile

Dim ftpResponse As FtpWebResponse =
CType(ftpRequest.GetResponse, FtpWebResponse)
Dim stream As Stream = Nothing
Dim reader As StreamReader = Nothing
Dim writer As StreamWriter = Nothing
Dim destinationFile As String
destinationFile = "C:\FrankSilvaFTP"
Try
stream = ftpResponse.GetResponseStream
reader = New StreamReader(stream, Encoding.UTF8)
writer = New StreamWriter(destinationFile, False)
writer.Write(reader.ReadToEnd)
Return ftpResponse.StatusCode
Finally
stream.Close()
reader.Close()
writer.Close()

End Try
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
End Try

End Function
Public sqlUser As String
Public sqlPass As String
Public sqlIP As String
End Class
