I am looking for links.. tips.. articles that explain how to implement FTP
in VB.NET, this should help me upload files to a specific location on server

VJ,
Matthew MacDonald's book "Microsoft Visual Basic.NET Programmer's Cookbook"
from MS Press has a topic that shows how to create an FtpClient with VB.NET.

Hope this helps

This is an excellent ftp class.

Sample code:

Dim objFTP As New FTP
Dim myDir, NewPath As String

myDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(strFullPath) & "\"

'rename existing file before downloading new copy
If File.Exists(strFullPath) = True Then
NewPath = myDir & Format(Now(), "yyyyMMddHHmmss") & " " &
Path.GetFileName(strFullPath)
're-name the file
File.Move(strFullPath, NewPath)
End If

objFTP.RemoteHost = strSite
objFTP.RemotePath = strSiteDir
'slashes are optional at beginning and end of RemotePath!
objFTP.RemoteUser = strUID
objFTP.RemotePassword = strPwd
objFTP.RemotePort = 21

If objFTP.Login() = True Then
objFTP.SetBinaryMode(True)
objFTP.DownloadFile(strSiteFileName, strFullPath)
'if file exists, it is overwritten without warning.
End If

In addition to my previous post:
