Backup your website from your FTP server to your local machine

This is a side project i started for myself. I will upload various parts of the code over time.

Background

I needed a piece of software to copy my websites from my FTP server. So off I went to Google... as i was looking at all the paid software, i said to myself, "come on ste, your a nerd, why don’t you just develop it yourself". So that’s what I did. It has also let me gain on my Visual C# experience. I have decided that I will continue to make tools like this during my free time and I will put them on my brand spanking new website : Smart Future Tools (www.SFTools.com). This will enable me to present my free tools to the world and also get some valuable feedback so i can improve the tools and also improve myself as a better coder.
