[TUT] how to stop you´re programm online

hi guis,.. i m starting to make tuts here, becouse so many people pm me and like to have more usefull tuts:

TUT #1
Stop you´re programm using / online with ftp server

difficulty : Advanced

we need:
1 form = form1
1 timer = timer1
1 label = label1
1 txt file = example : active.txt
1 txt file = example : reason.txt

>1< make a txt file and name it what ever you want, example: active.txt and reason.txt, in the reason.txt you can write a reason why youre programm is closing
and load it up to youre ftp server

>2< open up visual basic 2008 or 2010 > make a new project and name it what ever you want and add a timer1 and label1 to youre form

>3< double click on the form and give this code in Form1_Load :

Code:

Timer1.enable = true
Timer1.Interval = 1

>4< double click on the timer1 and give in this code:

Code:

    Dim wc As New Net.WebClient
        Try
            wc.DownloadFile("http://youreserver.com/active.txt", My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Temp & "\active.txt")
            Label1.Text = "Active"
            timer1.stop
            ' now here you can put in how to continue youre programm
        Catch
            Dim client As New Net.WebClient
            Label1.Text = client.DownloadString("http://youreserver.com/reason.txt")
            timer1.stop
            ' maybe here you can set me.close or something like that
            
        End Try

on youreserver.com you have to put in youre ftp server, and if you now delete the active.txt from youre ftp server the label1 shows youre text from reason.txt ...

He'd actually make a 1000000000x better tutorial.

You better not flame the only people that help in this section.

This tutorial does lack screenshots/further explanation.

A tutorial <> providing source code. A tutorial is a well explained, usually image-laden document which actually TEACHES people something. The people that can understand this code most likely could code this themselves as it's hardly difficult, so for the people that don't know much about VB, they need an explanation. Also, if anyone uses this in their program and tries to release it, they're going to get their download limit rooted (1kb file every 1ms ftw?) So yea, it's not even a tutorial. I've made a few tuts and I'm in the process of writing up an extensive settings tutorial. Just giving people code to C+P doesn't encourage learning or understand, it encourages yet another wave of people content to copy and paste, which is NOT good.

@Kevin & Andrew, thanks <3

Meh I'm not aiming to "pwn" anyone, that'd involve lowering myself to his level

I'm just explaining that I'm not saying "Not much of a tut really" to just generally be an asshole, so there's so need to be an asshole to me. It's not a tut, so face it.
