FTP File transfer - ASCII mode

[STEPBYSTEEP]

I am using the solution given by 1DMF in the below thread:

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1703957

The problem is that, when the last chunk of the file is read, unused parts of the buffer is keeping the previous values and write it in the new file ending with some repeated data. I have done some modifications but I cant get across the files with identical size and content (last part is some blank content and file is usually larger)

I don't want to use the shell commands because I have no control on when the files are finishing the ftp transfer.

Any suggestion?

Copied just the retrieval code...

Function FTPGet(ByVal HostName As String, _
    ByVal UserName As String, _
    ByVal Password As String, _
    ByVal LocalFileName As String, _
    ByVal RemoteFileName As String, _
    ByVal sDir As String, _
    ByVal sMode As String, Optional ByRef iCnt As Integer = 1, Optional ByRef iTot As Integer = 1) As Boolean
