    How to Get a Filename from a FTP Server...

    Hi Guys,
    I Need to download Multiple Files from a FTP Site. Since it's not Possible using a Inet Control, I'm going to do the Process by getting all the Files in the Directory first. Then in a Do while Loop, I'm going to get all the Files. For this I need to know how many files are there in the Current Directory, Secondly the name of the Files in the Current Directory, Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Ramanan.

    You would use the FTP LS or DIR commands to list the files in a directory.

    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    LS just dumps the file list down the connection

    To get a single file name, just parse out that string (test it using telnet to see what I mean).
