// set the name of the FTP server( its URL )
ftp.HostAddress = "ftp.fsz.bme.hu"; // a hungarian university. change this to your ftp server
ftp.UserName = "anonymous"; // replace with your user name
ftp.Password = "user@mail.com"; // replace with your password
 
//Only synchronize files in the specified directory, do not do sub directories
ftp.SynchronizeDownload("TestDir", "C:\\Download", false);
 
System.Console.WriteLine("{0} files have been Transferred", ftp.FileCount);

Visual Basic
