Hi - has anyone seen, or point me in the direction of an asp.net (vb)
ftp script? I'm not really interested in all the bells and whistles -
just a case of pointing to a site directory, and downloading all of the
files and folders to a local drive - keeping the directory structure
intact?

Thanks for any pointers, Mark

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

Has full fTP support, and there is nothing that has as comprehensive support
for FTP as Indy does. It even parses something like 40 differnet file
systems.

And its free. ;)
