Как загрузить папку с ftp VB.NET

---

Я пробовал код который использую для загрузки файла но когда я пытаюсь загрузить папку он не работает вот код --

Public Sub CheckForUpdates()

        Dim localFile As String
        localFile = Application.StartupPath & "/Database/Sigs/"
        Const remoteFile As String = "/Database/Sigs/"

        Const host As String = "ftp://ip address"
        Const username As String = "my username"
        Const password As String = "my password"
        Dim URI As String = host & remoteFile



        Dim ftp As System.Net.FtpWebRequest = CType(System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Create(URI), System.Net.FtpWebRequest)
        'Set the credentials
        ftp.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password)
        'Turn off KeepAlive (will close connection on completion)
        ftp.KeepAlive = False
        'we want a binary
        ftp.UseBinary = True
        'Define the action required (in this case, download a file)
        ftp.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile



        Using response As System.Net.FtpWebResponse = CType(ftp.GetResponse, System.Net.FtpWebResponse)
            Using responseStream As IO.Stream = response.GetResponseStream
                'loop to read & write to file
                Using fs As New IO.FileStream(localFile, IO.FileMode.Create)
                    Dim buffer(2047) As Byte
                    Dim read As Integer = 0
                    Do
                        read = responseStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
                        fs.Write(buffer, 0, read)
                    Loop Until read = 0 'see Note(1)
                    responseStream.Close()
                    fs.Flush()
                    fs.Close()


                End Using
                responseStream.Close()
            End Using
            response.Close()
        End Using
    End Sub

Что я уже пробовал:

я пытался как вы можете видеть выше использовать код для получения файла но по какой то причине не работает
