Downloading Files

[Greg L.]

I apologize if this is not the correct group....

Using the system.net namespace I want to download an entire
directory's worth of files. I've been researching furiously and can't
seem to find any examples of this. I'm sure I'm overlooking a simple
way to do it. Thanks

Might be easier if you had an XML file in some directory that listed the
available files.

But in other means....

Are you going to use a webservice?
That might be a good way.

In the webservice, recurse files and folders and return URL's then just loop
through downloading them.

dim folder as new DirectoryInfo(strFolderPath)
dim subfolders as DirectoryInfo=folder.GetDirectories

then loop through them.

Wrox has a Beginning VB.net book that has a similar example...Using a
webservice to get pictures from a folder on the internet

HTH,
