creating a simple ftp program with logs...??

[Jason]

I want to create a simple FTP program or service that would:

1.) FTP files in a specific directory to a remote ftp host.
2.) Send off a report telling me if all files transferred or if they
failed via email
3.) If files failed, try to send again every minute for 3 minutes
4.) move files that were successfully ftp'd to a differant directory

Would this be difficult to do? Anyone give any examples?
Are there classes that will do this?

thanks.

Jason,

No it is not difficult to do as you use the FTP class, the FileWatcher class
and the SMTP class.

I assume that there more then enough samples around this on
MSDN.Microsoft.Com

Check out this link. This helped me in creating a ftp program. Some
sample source code is provided.

The other responses are much simpler and are the way to go, but I just
thought I'd share some code I did to download a file from an FTP server. I
believe it was written when I had just switched over to VB2005 from VB2003
and was unaware of the FTP class.
