Vb Net Ftp Download
The following steps can be considered as a generic procedure of getting an FTP request executed using the FtpWebRequest object. Create an FtpWebRequest object over an FTP server Uri.; Set the FTP method to execute (upload, download, and so forth). Vb.net FTP Download / File Size. I have aprogram which connects to the FTP server I have the upload peice working I can get he file directory yada yada where the problem lies is 1 - Cant get it to download the code completely(ill attach my download code and the error).
We need to get about 100 very small files from a remote FTP server using vb.net.Our company won't let us buy (or install) any 3rd party ftp libraries... so we are forced to use something like FtpWebRequest. (Or is there a better free, choice that is already a part of Visual Studio?)
This method works, but it is VERY slow. (I assume because of the constant logging in/out.)
Instead, we probably should be doing this, but it never works:
We found COUNTLESS examples online of 'getting an FTP file list' and later 'how to download 1 file with FTP'... but we never see 'get EACH file name, and download it NOW'.

If you are using a proxy obviously you need to set this to an actual proxy.
