Download Multiple Files At The Same Time From A Remote Server?
Aug 12, 2011
Is there any way to download multiple files at the same time from a remote server? How I am doing it currently is I get a list of files from the target folder on the server then I loop through that list & download each file 1 at a time. For 100 small files it takes about 45 seconds. I'm guessing that the bulk of the time it takes is logging in to the server for each file to download, so 100 files means it has to login, download & logoff 100 times. Is it possible to login just once, download the 100 files then logout?
I'm trying to upload multiple XML files to a remote server but I am having problems. My code will upload 1 or 2 files then it will pause for a while then error out saying "The operation has timed out". Here is the code that does the uploading:
Private Sub SendFiles() Dim ediServer As String = "ftpservername" Dim useFile, ediFileName, ediFile As String
[Code]....
Should I be creating a new request object inside a loop for each file like I am?
I wrote a program to download and play AVI files the files are large in size and long time wise. I have the files playing as they are being downloaded but i can't see how long the file is or seek reliably. i was reading that the AVI headers are in the last 512kb of the AVI file *why would't they put it at the start* lol so my question is is there a way to download the last 512Kb of the file i'm downloading. i have the Bytes Read and Length of the file while its downlaoding i'm just not sure where to go from there, or how to do it atleast. If i had the length in time of the Avi file i could set the trackbar to be able to seek properly. or if someone has an idea how i could get the time of the video by using fps and some math i could prob do it that way too but idk how i would tell how i can find how many kb are in the fps i'm sure it changes so think that way is't going to be reliable. how to get the last 512kb would be the best option not sure if it can be done even.
I am new in Webserver. My application is on VS2008(VB.NET) in windows application. Some Customer upload orders in .txt files. Now I want to download all the .txt file at once. How can I do that?
I have a file uploading and viewing page in ASP.Net 1.1 using VB. Now the page will be visible in intranet as well internet. Here in my case the intranet and internet servers are different.

i need to download all files fron FTP server folder. is it possible to download the folder from FTPserver? if not is it possible to download all files from folder because i have a requirement that i need to download all the files from that folder in FTP server. even i don't know the files name. So is there any sample code for this? i have xml files in that FTP server folder.
i have been assigned a project by my organization to make a portal using vb.net which would list all the files and folders kept at the server, and i need to add a functionality wherein on a single click the user should be able to download all the files present in a particular a listbox which contains various files selected for the download, iam using file.copy method for this as the files are to be copied in the intranet only but this works fine when i run it on my computer but as soon as i deploy it and in the client server architecture the files are not copied even to the server nor in the client, although no error is shown. [code]
Now to download a file i have used My.Computer.Network.DownloadFileThis works for the first file but then crashes when it goes to download a second file leavign me with the world most inexplicable exception message: "Illegal characters in path."
Here is the line it occurs on: My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(server & patch_files(patched_files), "C:UsersAJDesktopTemp" & patch_files(patched_files))
My current code is Imports System.Net Imports System.IO Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click# Using wc As New WebClient() wc.DownloadFile("http://link.com/1.swf", Path.Combine("1.swf")) End Using End Sub End Class
And that work's like a charm, however say there was swf's from 1 to 2700 or so, how would i go around making it download each of those files one at a time or all at once? I could do a loop but I'm not the best in Visual Basic 2010
i'm starting to create a project in wich I will be able to download all kind of files from an FTP server. I'm using this code to upload files and it works.

I have a desktop application from where i want to download files from the web server. when i am downloading a single file then there is no problem. but when i want to download more than one file there is an error like "WebClient does not support concurrent I/O operations".
I have a class that is a downloader (I didnt make it). You create an instance of it like so:
Dim _Down As New WebFileDownloader_Down.DownloadFileWithProgress(URL, Location)URL and Location are replaced by strings. This all works fine. But when I try to download multiple files, it doesn't work, I just add this bit for another file to be downloaded:
I'm trying to use the thread pool to download more than one string at a time. But most of the tutorial on threading is in C# or C++ so my knowledge on thread pool is limited.
I keep getting an error "Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Listbox1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on." And it still seems to be downloading it one by one to me.
I guess that I'm not the first who ask this, but what is the easiest way to use threads in VB.NET? I mean, I need to download some string from a remote server and then to show that string in the GUI, so I have to use some callback function to call it in the main thread. I found different approaches for this, but all seems very difficult compared to Python where (with GTK) I used something like: gobject.idle_add(callback_function, parameters) and "callback_function" was executed in the main thread. How I do that in VB.NET?
So my program allows people to download/upload text files from an FTP server... But... is this safe? I've always been a little scared with FTP because I fear that some lowlife is gonna hack into it. Is there another way to do this? Or is there a way to make this connection much safer?
I'm downloading 3 files from the server using wClient, which goes ok, but I was wondering if the progressbar% is correct.
vb.net Private WithEvents wClient As New WebClientPrivate WithEvents w2Client As New WebClientPrivate WithEvents w3Client As New WebClient wClient.DownloadFileAsync(New Uri("http://...w2Client.DownloadFileAsync(New Uri("http://...w3Client.DownloadFileAsync(New Uri("http://...' progressbarPrivate Sub wClient_DownloadProgressChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
I have a database table where the user marks files to be downloaded. Subsequently, I browse this table and need to create a fileList to pass to an ActiveX downloader. My routine works locally and on the server for ONLY the first file. I know my logic must be bad, but I cannot find it. All of these files are always in the same server directory which is as follows:
"D:inetpubvhostsWebSite.comsessionVideos" Sub (GetFileList) Dim dtVideosSelected As New DataTable
I need a vb source to get the web server path files and download it to the local machine. actually a web html page in that i have href tag to call the vb exe file, in vb file i have to find current server path and download some supporting files to local machine
I'm trying to write a windows app that will download files from a server. It is working fine for small files, but not the larger ones (50Mb+)- I get the error "An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full."This is the code I am using:
Private Function DownloadFile(ByVal fileSource As String, _ ByVal fileDestination As String, _ ByVal WebRequestType As String) As Boolean
is there any way to copy multiple files at the same time WITH PROGRESS BAR like in windows explorer? I am using system FileIO.FileSystem.CopyFile for copying single file, but I want to do this with more then one file.
i made downloader that will display the following items to the user. The Name of the file that the user is downloading The Url Were the file is being saved The Size of the file The speed at which the file is being downloaded And the Status. But the Problem is that the downloader can only download one file at a time. How can i make a multiple file downloader Which if the user wants to download 2 or 23 files he can.
I have a web portal designed in ASP.NET in which we ask customers to enter the data. On the click of submit button all i have done is, just read the data and called a stored procedure which inserts that into a table. There seems to be a problem in SQL Server 2005 while inserting the data from multiple computers at the same time. We have tested in our lab with three computers, result is that we get the data inserted successfully in only one machine and on the other two machines we get error on page. I have used transactions in the stored procedure and also tried setting the isolation levels to READ_UNCOMMITTED, SERIALIZABLE and SNAPSHOT. Nothing seems to work properly.
I am trying to add multiple files to FTP server by dragging and dropping and I am able to do that using try catch block and if we give the ftp settings correctly it takes 1 sec to upload them but when we give wrong details it hangs up and dosen't give me any error message though If I give an exceptional message.
Now I am getting error message as well as success message for every file I add.I do not want that to be happen.where should I give messages for success and failure so that it should take few seconds for uploading and if not should give me a message immediately.
Here is my code:
Private Sub uploadFile(ByVal FTPAddress As String, ByVal filePath As String, ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String) 'Create FTP request Try
