[RESOLVED]FTP Download file to string

First attempt at this......

I need to open FTP directory and download a file into a string......

Any code examples would be greatly appreciated....

I have searched and searched...but can't tell the difference between all
the different versions of VB....

VB 2005 Express

Look Here

http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/FtpClient.asp

WebClient.DownloadString

See the following component.

http://www.jscape.com/sftpdotnet/

the Ftp.Download(Stream out, String filename)

the "out" variable can be a MemoryStream which you can then convert to a byte[] and to a String.

OK thanks...

I can download a file to a .bin
How would I get that into a textbox? or string?

as jmcilhinney said, use WebClient.DownloadString

Read the documentation for the WebClient class and, particularly, the DownloadString method. If you still don't understand then you should ask but you should be erading the documentation first.

Thanks for the point in the right direction...

Got it...Easier that I thought.......
