    The code below operates under windwos but not Linux file is created, but it is empty.

    I think that the bug is in 'Credentials' because I can download files on server without authentication(Login/Password).

Sorry for my English I am french




    Sub dl(ByVal remoteFile As String, ByVal localFile As String, ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String)



        '1. Create a request: must be in ftp://hostname format,

        Dim ftp As System.Net.FtpWebRequest =  CType(FtpWebRequest.Create(URI), FtpWebRequest)




        '3. Settings and action

        ftp.KeepAlive = False

        'we want a binary transfer, not textual data

        ftp.UseBinary = True

        'Define the action required (in this case, download a file)

        ftp.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile


        '2. Set credentials
        if not (username = "" andalso password = "") then

        ftp.Credentials = New NetworkCredential( username, password)
        end if


        '4. If we were using a method that uploads data e.g. UploadFile

        '   we would open the ftp.GetRequestStream here an send the data



        '5. Get the response to the Ftp request and the associated stream
