[2005] Upload/Download .txt File From FTP Server.

[knxrb]

I need some code for VB 2005 that will allow the user to automatically download a .txt file from a FTP server and put it in the directory: C:\MYAPPNAME\Data\txtfile.txt.

Also I would like some code that allows the user to automatically upload the same txtfile to the same FTP Server from the C:\MYAPPNAME\Data\txtfile.txt directory.

Thanks in advance. - (If you only know code for one thing then please post it. Someone else might have the other bit )

Also would it connect using http:// or ftp:// ???

Also my FTP Server may have(depending on what server I use) username and password protection, so just put 'username' and 'password' in the places where I would need to write them.

Thanks in advance (again)

There is the this for uploading. Look up these classes for downloading help.

My.Computer.Network.UploadFile("C:\logo.gif", "ftp://192.168.0.252/ICA/logo.gif", "adminuser", "passxxx")

or this

Dim clsRequest As System.Net.FtpWebRequest = _
            DirectCast(System.Net.WebRequest.Create("ftp://192.168.0.1/test.zip"), System.Net.FtpWebRequest)
        clsRequest.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("Username", "passxxx")
        clsRequest.UseBinary = True
        clsRequest.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile
        clsRequest.UsePassive = False
        ' read in file...
        Dim bFile(5000000 - 1) As Byte 
        Dim strmFile As FileStream = File.OpenRead("d:\test.zip")
 
        ' upload file...
        Dim clsStream As System.IO.Stream = _
            clsRequest.GetRequestStream()
 
        For y = 1 To x
            strmFile.Read(bFile, 0, 200000)
            clsStream.Write(bFile, 0, 200000)
            Application.DoEvents()
        Next
 
''write end of file here
        Dim abyBuffer2(strmFile.Length - x * 200000 - 1) As Byte
        strmFile.Read(bFile, 0, strmFile.Length)
        clsStream.Write(bFile, 0, strmFile.Length)
 
        clsStream.Close()
        clsStream.Dispose()
        System.GC.Collect()
