HOWTO?: FTPing with System.Net.Sockets.Socket

Hi,

I'm creating a little multithreaded FTP Client. I used to do this with the INET API functions. Now i want to try it with sockects in VB.NET. I can connect and execute some commands on the server but the LIST command or transfering files doesnt work.

I tryed different ways to find the solution for this.
Changing the Socket / Stream Options doesnt help.

Code:

Imports System.Net
Imports System.Net.Sockets

Public Class Form1
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()

        'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
        InitializeComponent()

        'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

    End Sub

    'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
    Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
        If disposing Then
            If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
                components.Dispose()
            End If
        End If
        MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
    End Sub

    'Required by the Windows Form Designer
    Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer

    'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer
    'It can be modified using the Windows Form Designer. 
    'Do not modify it using the code editor.
