I have a code for displaying all files inside a folder in a FTP Server. I googled 'vb.net ftp recursive directory listing', and found this. How to download. Visual Basic FtpWebRequest downloading files? Ask Question Asked 6 years, 8 months. The most trivial way to download a binary file from an FTP server using VB.NET is using WebClient.DownloadFile. If you want to download all files from a remote folder, see How to download directories from FTP using VB.NET.
Visual Basic Code Snippet - Upload file to FTP ServerThis.Net Visual Basic code snippet upload file to FTP Server. To use this function simply provide the local file name to upload, upload path including host name, FTP username and FTP password. This function uses System.Net and System.IO namespaces to upload the file.To upload file we create two streams, one for the FTP connection and another for the file we are reading from local disk to upload.
These are the steps we take to upload a file: Create a FtpWebRequest object, set the FtpWebRequest.Method property to UploadFile, set the FtpWebRequest.Credentials property to our login information, get the request stream of the FtpWebRequest object. This is the stream we will write to, open the file we are going to upload and get a stream to its data, read the file data from the input stream and write it into the request stream and close the uploaded file stream and the request stream.

Do you mean to have an additional text file stored on SQL Server? Yes, Icould do that.The file can contain info about the date, size, etc (probably versionnumber, too).Tell me little bit more about that, please.I am already connecting to an FTP server and downloading test file but wouldlike to be able to compare the version (or date) of my current applicationwith the version (or date) of the.msi file on the server.Thank you, let me know if I am on the right track.Regards,-Dino BuljubasicSoftware Developer'CJ Taylor' wrote in messagenews:eM.@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl.

If you are using an intranet, youcan do it from a shared folder. Paul Kimmel has a newbookm-20/0-6304806 that discusses this in depth.I can send you some code to do it. Effectively you needtwo assemblies, one that calls the second, and it looksto somehwere 'else' to check if the somewhere 'else' onis newer than the one it wants to use. I've done it onthe intranet at work, and on a scale of 1 to 10, it'sabout a 4 the first time through, and much easierafterward, setting the permissions is the main gotcha.Let me know which scenario you are using and I can be ofmore help.Good Luck,BillW.G.
