In last article we have did how to upload a file I know you are very eager to know how to download a file. I am not taking much time here and will introduce you below code by which you can download a file. It just likes our earlier upload ftp file.Its screen is just like below.
On the button click we did following thing
Protected Sub btnDownload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDownload.Click
Try
Dim ftpRes As FtpWebRequest = DirectCast(FtpWebRequest.Create(Me.txtFtp.Text & “/” & Me.txtRemoteFileName.Text), FtpWebRequest)
ftpRes.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(Me.txtUserName.Text, Me.txtPassword.Text)
ftpRes = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(Me.txtFtp.Text & “/” & Me.txtRemoteFileName.Text), FtpWebRequest)
ftpRes.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(Me.txtUserName.Text, Me.txtPassword.Text)
ftpRes.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile
ftpRes.UseBinary = True
Dim myFtpWebResponse As FtpWebResponse = ftpRes.GetResponse()
Dim myStreamWriter As StreamWriter
myStreamWriter = New StreamWriter(“c:\Downloads\” & Me.txtRemoteFileName.Text)
myStreamWriter.Write(New StreamReader(myFtpWebResponse.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd)
myStreamWriter.Close()
myFtpWebResponse.Close()
Catch eh As System.Net.WebException
Response.Write(eh.Message)
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
End Try
End Sub
Here The main important thing is method which is download file as you see in above code.
We just take response of ftp and read the stream of this with the help of GetResponseStream().ReadToEnd.
Rest all the thing is same like our old code for file upload.
I hope you got with the above code.
Thanks & Enjoy coding
