Answer 1

maybe this vb code could help:

' begin asynchronous transfer '
Dim asyncResult As IAsyncResult
asyncResult = ftp.BeginGetFile( _
    remotePath, _
    localPath, _
    New AsyncCallback(AddressOf MyCallback), _
    Nothing _
 )

Do 
    ' do something else here... '
Loop While Not asyncResult.IsCompleted

' get the result '
Dim bytes As Long 
bytes = ftp.EndGetFile(asyncResult)
