transfer file from internet to my computer?

I need to retrieve certain files from web pages, such as pictures and save them to my hard drive. I will have the exact address to the file. ( like http://www.someplace.com/picture.jpg )

So how can I get my vb program to retrieve the file and save it to my local hard drive? Do I use ftp? If so how?

Hey all.

I used inet to FTP files to and from internet in a program for my company that would allow PCs at different sites to share info files. But often the data comes back trashed with HTML code mixed into the files.

Anybody know why? Or how to solve that?
