[RESOLVED]FTP Download file to string

[wazntme]

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

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?

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.
