Download Method

Download a RemoteFile from an FTP server.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Sub Download()

[C#]
public void Download();

Remarks

This method is used to download the remote file specified by RemoteFile to the local file specified by LocalFile, or it is retrieved through the Transfer event if the LocalFile property is "" (empty string). RemoteFile is either an absolute path on the server, or a path relative to RemotePath. If there is no FTP session in place, one is automatically created by first calling the Logon method.

Example (Download a File)

FTPControl.LocalFile = "C:\localfile.txt"
FTPControl.RemoteFile = "remotefile.txt"
FTPControl.Download()

FTPControl.LocalFile = "C:\localfile2.txt"
FTPControl.RemoteFile = "folder/remotefile2.txt"
FTPControl.Download()

NOTE: This method has a corresponding asynchronous version (DownloadAsync) for use in the Xamarin environment.
