Hello,

I need a FULLY EXPLAINED tutorial for this, not just code. I need explaining, because I want to use this. I've tried just looking at code, and I can't get it. So, please write out a tutorial if you want to help.

Now, what I want to do is allow people to create accounts (username and password), and it be stored online. So, they could be on another computer, and still log in. Please also tell how to use booleans, integers, etc. along with username and password (strings).

Thank you VERY MUCH if you help.

That chat app seems a bit unsecure if the accounts are stored where everyone has FTP access. You could use a server side script like PHP instead, it can either store the information in a database or keep it in a file on the server.

Simple fix solution: Store the data into FTP folder where no on else has access without account and then obfuscate your program, so they cannot see your account credentials.

Ok, but how can i use

Code: Select all

Dim pageRequest As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(url), HttpWebRequest)

to read data from ftp server :/ ?
I am using this to read stream from .txt file on site :/

No amount of obfuscating will secure the FTP protocol over a public network.

read stream from .txt file on site

You can use:

Code: Select all

        Dim pageRequest As FtpWebRequest = FtpWebRequest.Create("ftp://localhost/file.txt")
        pageRequest.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("user", "password")
        pageRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile

        Dim resp As FtpWebResponse = pageRequest.GetResponse()
        Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream())

        Dim data As String = sr.ReadToEnd()
        sr.Close()
        resp.Close()
        MsgBox(data)
