I can't find a tutorial on this. In VB.NET I want to do a command such as:
I know this is probably not going to be that simple, but can anyone point me to a tutorial or anything?
Cole JohnsonDownload all directory files from FTP to local drive [Answered] RSS 2 replies Last post Jul 24, 2012 03:53 AM by Frank Jiang - MSFT. For example I have 4 files on the FTP and I need to have them saved locally and after that to delete them from FTP. Me personally I would check response to see if that has values on the 4th file download. Mikcutu 5-Apr-11 8:03am. List all the files from ftp in VB.NET. Listing files of a directory from FTP server.

use this free library http://netftp.codeplex.com/
of course I'm assuming that www.example.com is a FTP server.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE: The library requires the complete Framework 4.0. You should go to the Build Page of your Project Properties, click on the Advanced Options and select Framework 4.0 instead of Framework 4.0 Client Profile
The following method will work for framework 3.5 and higher, I know this question is 3 years old but I ran into a situation where I need to list FTP directories in a framework 3.5 project So I wrote following code by referring How to: List Directory Contents with FTP.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged vb.netftp or ask your own question.
I've created two methods in a class that allow me to download the contents of an FTP folder and if specified then delete them. Although the code operates as intended I think it's vastly bloated and I'm looking for direction on how to correct it.
Of note I believe that there's far too many FTP connections opened in a single file move (three I believe - list directory, download files, delete files). I'm a bit unsure how to refine this.
Here's the class initializer (where my credentials are passed into properties within this class):
And the postevent method that's referred to here come's from a base class I inherit to this class (unsure if this is bad practice, please let me know if so):

The first thing I would do is change your constructor:
That eliminates newing up credentials all over your code.
As for the rest of your code, I think a few well named functions will make the code much more readable. For example, getting a list of files:
You could write the above using yield if you'd rather.
Go through your code and keep pulling out all of the methods aiming to get each one to do a single thing.
For example, I'd probably pull out another method from the above (ListDirectories) called CreateListDirectoriesRequest and have that create the WebRequest.
It's probably your file has been infected with a virus. Is PlanSwift.exe using too much CPU or memory? 
Ftp or ftp never FTP in names.
What you're doing with your remoteFTPPath parameter is very confusing. I'd have no idea what it was for a lot of your method.
It's easier to use using than calling Close/Dispose most of the time.

You almost certainly want to log ex.ToString() rather than just the message. You'll want the stack trace when you're tracking down problems.
