how to compare and retrieve documents from a server

Leo M

I want to write a program using vb.net tht compares the name of a document on my desktop to the name of the document on the server. If they're the same then I'd like to retrieve it and have it replace the file I already have.
How can i do this? Does this mean that i have to write a web application cuz i hope not. I dont no anything about those. I am using that server for storage purposes only so i assumed that i didnt need a database for the name of the document.
So, how can i do this? Is there an existing class/package in vb.net that does something like this?
Thanx.

i have a computer where the images are stored in c:\images. and i have an ftp server where the images are stored in a default location. I never worked with an ftp server but I assume there's a default path or directory where the images will be stored in. I'm only saving images in it so it wont get messy.
So i want my application to compare the name of the image in my c:\images directory to the names of the images that are in the dfault path on my ftp server

by saying server are you refering to FTP Server?
are the files located on the save Path, meaning Desktop is on server a folder called Desktop?
