Programmatically accessing and retrieving data from an SSL web pag

[Guest]

Using VB.net I want to create an windows forms application that passes
credentials to an SSL enabled web site and retrieves the default web page.
Then I want to parse the retrieved web page and then FTP files from the
server.

Parsing the data is not a problem. However, I have no clue on how to start
any of the other processes.

You can use HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse from the System.Net namespace.
In 2.0 there are also FtpWebRequest and FtpWebResponse classes.
