The solution provided at the end of that thread is done in vb 6.0 and i don't
think there is a way to convert it to vb.net. Since vb 6.0 doesn't have
threading, it uses some callback function to and Timers instead. What i can
try to do is create a separate thread that sends "NOOP" commands to the ftp
server every minute to see if i'm still connected. The thread that is calling
FtpPutFile then needs to be terminated when the first thread is unable to
send "NOOP" to the server, and there is no way to terminate threads in the
compact framework.
