FTP Upload Download to/from a web site

[vbnewbie]

Hi all,

I need to include an upload/download feature to my VB 2005
application.
Files will be uploaded and downloaded to and from a web site.
Can someone guide me towards some articles or code.
I looked through quite a bit of stuff, but it all seems rather old.
I am ready to bet there are simpler ways of doing the trick.

Thanks!

vbNewbie,

Has it to be FTP, because for downloading HTTP is easier to handle?

Is it a web or windows app ?

At this point, a user on a client running a windows app will upload
files to a web site and download from that web site.

I am not sure what would be best and what is possible...
The files are stored on a server and the web site is accessible via
http of course.
A user on a client will upload files to the server or download files.
The iadea is to have a rich client type app that accesses info on the
web site.
I'd be interested in the HTTP download version.

Thanks Cor

One other tring I am having trouble envisioning: the user needs to see
a directory of files that are on the server. What is yhe correct
approach?

Thanks

I would go for a windows app that sends/downloads files over http. Then
if you want to see the files on the server as well - you can list them
into an xml file - then download and read the xml file within your
windows app and put them into a listbox or something.
