Download All Files Ftp Directory Vb Net Array

May 28, 2009 I am trying to write some VB code to delete files in an FTP directory. If I know the name of the file, I have no problems doing this. However, I would like.

Are there any errors being thrown? A while ago I was facing a similar situation, but in reverse. I added a feature for a web-portal where users could upload files to the server, and those files needed to be moved to a fileserver located behind two firewalls and the DMZ. This is my solution. After the file has been uploaded to the server, I immediately convert the file into a byte array and send it to a webservice, which in turn have limited access to a single predefined folder on the fileserver. So here's what I suggest. Create a webservice with a method that stream reads the desired file/s into a byte array, send the array, and then reconstruct the byte array into a file on the target system.

It may seem like a round-about way of doing it, but it's actually quite fast. The reason for why it's not working for you might be as simple as a credential mismatch. Ie, the IIS_USR or ASPNET user on the server may not have read/copy rights.

So we are forced to use something like FtpWebRequest. (Or is there a better free, choice that is already a part of Visual Studio?) This method works, but it is VERY slow.

(I assume because of the constant logging in/out.) Log in with user name and password. Get a file-list from the remote server. Log out Use that file-list to get each file separtely: Log in, get the file, log out. Log in 99 more times, get each file, log out each time. Instead, we probably should be doing this, but it never works: Log in with user name and password. Get a list of filenames. Download each file.

Log out ONCE. We found COUNTLESS examples online of 'getting an FTP file list' and later 'how to download 1 file with FTP'.

But we never see 'get EACH file name, and download it NOW'. Something I just put together, the important part is the fwr.Proxy = Nothing, otherwise it tries to auto get the proxy settings which causes huge delays so setting it to nothing forces it to not use one. If you are using a proxy obviously you need to set this to an actual proxy. Dim fwr As Net.FtpWebRequest = Net.FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpAddress) fwr.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(userName, password) fwr.KeepAlive = True fwr.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.

ListDirectory fwr.Proxy = Nothing Try Dim sr As New IO.StreamReader(fwr.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()) Dim lst = sr.ReadToEnd().Split(vbNewLine) For Each file As String In lst file = file.Trim() 'remove any whitespace If file = '.' OrElse file = '.'

Then Continue For Dim fwr2 As Net.FtpWebRequest = Net.FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpAddress & file) fwr2.Credentials = fwr.Credentials fwr2.KeepAlive = True fwr2.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile fwr2.Proxy = Nothing Dim fileSR As New IO.StreamReader(fwr2.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()) Dim fileData = fileSR.ReadToEnd() fileSR.Close() Next sr.Close() Catch ex As Exception End Try I know its a bit late but hopefully helps.
