Visual Basic List Files In Directory
First, use Try.Catch.End Try to catch the error. It helps to solve the problem.
And secondly, everything you do with the web is always more or less error prone.Basic problem in your code is understanding how communication works between server and the client. In the code above you request something from the server and the server sends you a response.I dropped the progressbar from your code because ContentLength does not return the filesize (actually reading ContentLength causes an error). You should request Ftp.GetFileSize and read the response. Second change I made is reading incoming data in a blocks and dumping blocks to a file. Reading a large file one byte at a time can be really slow.
Anyway, here's my code: Private Sub Button1Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click'Dim buffer(1023) As Byte ' Allocate a read buffer of 1kB sizeDim bytesIn As Integer ' Number of bytes read to bufferDim totalBytesIn As Integer ' Total number of bytes received (= filesize)Dim output As IO.Stream ' A file to save responseTryDim FTPRequest As System.Net.FtpWebRequest = DirectCast(System.Net.WebRequest.Create(' & 'README.TXT'), System.Net.FtpWebRequest)' No credentials needed in this case. Usually you need to provide them.
