FTP to my xbox in VB

Hey, I'm trying to make a program in Visual Basic that will FTP to my xbox and grab a mapfile for me with the click of a button. However, none of the solutions I've tried seem to work with IP addresses, only host names. I've tried the internet transfer controls and wininet.dll. I can connect fine to regular FTP servers on the internet, just not my xbox. Is there an ocx or dll that supports IP's?

I know that this forum is for programming in Halo PC, but it seemed the most appropriate, as there are other tutorials in here for Visual Basic. If this isn't the right place, please move it.

here's pretty much where I would like to go to:
/F/Games/Halo 2/Maps/
and then grab a user specified map out of there and return it to app.path.
