Internet Transfer Control in VB.net

[Richie]

Has anyone used the Internet Transfer Control in VB.net? I need an example of how this is used. Can anyone point me to an example on the web or elsewhere?

Thanks

In dot net the idea has been to move away from ActiveX controls look at the Socket name space

What are you trying to do????

what im trying to do

I just want to build an application that browses to 1 ftp site (always the same one), downloads files, then disconnects. what do you suggest for this? I want to be able to schedule this program to run nightly.

 

[a_jam_sandwich]

I did a program that connected to a HTTP and downloaded files

This is the link http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=936&lngWId=10

Shouldn't be 2 hard to convert it to FTP instead of HTTP

Andy,

I can't seem to find where the url is specified in the code. Where is this specified? When I run the program and push the update button, i get a msg that says the remote name could not be found. how come?

 

[a_jam_sandwich]

sorry please read the readme.txt file that comes with it but all ip\url directory etc is in the .ini file

 

[Richie]

ahh nevermind...in the settings.ini

 

[a_jam_sandwich]

the idea is you create a update.dat will the urls to download and put this on the HTTP server...

Every time you hit update providing you have setup the settings.ini the update.dat file is downloaded then all files specified in the update.dat are downloaded. I can put together a simpler example if you like

Thanks Again

This application is really neat. I got it to work with another http site, but when I try to do with an ftp site, I get msg box that says The URI prefix is not recognized. I'm gonna see if I can figure out why. I use a url like:

Dim DownloadURL As String = "ftp://ofacftp.treas.gov/fac_delim/"

I wonder if I would have to include the login and password - it's an anonymous login, so I didn't think I would have to.

Thanks for all of your help!

see reason why ftp isnt working

from msdn:

Note By default, the .NET Framework supports URIs that begin with http:, https:, and file: scheme identifiers.

im gonna keep reading and see if there is a way to use ftp too.

Transfer file with Login and Password details

Here is a modified version of the above application to allow for login username and password if necessary.

Also am looking for FTP transfer. If anyone finds, please post.

Cheers
