(VB.NET) Asynchronous FTP Download. The Chilkat FTP component supports asynchronous uploads and downloads. This examples demonstrates doing a download in a background thread. The download is started by calling AsyncGetFileStart. While the download is in progress, your program may do other tasks. You may periodically check the AsyncFinished.

We need to get about 100 very small files from a remote FTP server using vb.net.Our company won't let us buy (or install) any 3rd party ftp libraries... 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.)
Instead, we probably should be doing this, but it never works:
![]() Net::ftp Perl
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'.

Take a look at my FTP class, it might be exactly what you need.
To initialize:
Vb Net Ftp Download FolderTHE AMAZINGTHE AMAZINGVb.net Ftpwebrequest Download Multiple Files

Vb.net Webclient Ftp Download
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.
I know its a bit late but hopefully helps
Vb.net Ftp Client
