I am attempting to download all files in the root folder of an ftp server that uses a virtual directory, but the xceed ftp component is not recognizing the command. Is there some way I can get around this error?


heres my code

Public Function DownloadFiles(ByVal strFileMask As String, _

ByVal strLocalFolder As String) As Integer

If Not Initialized Then Initialize()

Dim intVal As Integer = 0



Dim localFolder As Xceed.FileSystem.DiskFolder

Dim remoteFolder As Xceed.Ftp.FtpFolder

Try

If con Is Nothing Then

con = New Xceed.Ftp.FtpConnection(m_strServer, m_intPort, m_strUser, m_strPass)

con.DefaultRepresentationType = m_rtTransferType

End If

localFolder = New Xceed.FileSystem.DiskFolder(strLocalFolder)

remoteFolder = New Xceed.Ftp.FtpFolder(con) ' error occurs here

remoteFolder.CopyFilesTo(localFolder, False, True, New NameFilter(strFileMask))

intVal = 1

Catch ex As Exception

Debug.WriteLine(ex.ToString())

intVal = -1

End Try

Return intVal

End Function

'Exception Thrown
