Below is a code snippet of a function that allows you to download an FTP file using VB.net. Along the same theme as the earlier post on listing files on a FTP site, the function uses a FTPWebRequest and FTPWebResponse from the System.Net namespace. Also see this thread where the thread originator accesses multiple files on FTP server. And the top link doesn't have VB.Net examples so you can use Telerik to convert the C# examples to VB.Net probably. ' Get the object used to communicate with the server. In this article I will explain with an example, how to download Files from FTP Web Server in ASP.Net using C# and VB.Net. An ASP.Net GridView with a Download button will display the list of files from the FTP folder and when the Download button is clicked, the file will be downloaded from FTP folder.

Okay so my problem is that the server (accessed through filezilla) wont allow .exe extensions to be uploaded as a result i have added a .new to the end and that allows it to be uploaded. Thus when i download it i simply remove the .file from the end.

That's sorted but my auto updater needs to download folders as well. This is a problem as i cannot add a .file to a folder as it does not govern the filetype. I though of using .zip files but i cannot find an program in windows that can extract it (e.g. through CMD, or if you right click a .zip file in Win7/Vista you get the option to 'extract all' i cannot find the root of this application). Also if i try to use a external file extractor i cannot be sure that the remote PC has the same program (e.g. 7zip, winrar, etc..)

Does anyone know how to help?
Anyone had to do this themselves??
Ty :)
