FTP transfer WITH progress bar?

I need to do a built in FTP transfer (both an Upload and a Download) in my vb.net app.. and would like both of them to show a progress bar as the file transfers.

I've got a few ways to do the transfer itself, but I have no idea how to make it update the progress bar WHILE it's updating.

Any help?  The more information as you can give, the better!

realrael: Thank you, but like Daniël said, I'm looking for a VB.net specific solution rather than VB6.

Daniël:  Thank you VERY much for the detailed post, I really do appreciate it... however, I'm sorry to say that it requires downloading a third party FTP component.. and while it's free, I assume their name will be all over it in my source code and possibly the application itself.  I'd use it if it were for my own use, but I'm writing an application for my company, and would prefer it with no third party references.  Your post did give me a better idea on how to work with the the progress bar during the transfer , so thank you!

Sorry, but I really didn't do the post to give you any source.. I posted this one detailed on the fact that your have already build your own FTP interface... ("...I've got a few ways to do the transfer itself...")

I though you only needed to add good interface wich handles the progressbar etc...

Am I right?... My posted code doesn't  depend on the 3rd party software/sourcecode...

this is a great component.
If you have problems contact me...

Okay as I cannot give up:

Here you have a (full) FTP library WITHOUT references!!

This with the other post should complete the answer?  ;-)

realreal didn't post any usefull code since it was only VB6, not really this section I guess...:
