I hope to find references and links to places I can learn more rather than have the code spelled out for me. And maybe save some time searching if what I need to do is not possible. I am very new to VB.Net.
I had a web application written for me a little while ago. The programmer wrote a PHP process to allow a file to be uploaded to my hosted site, and it is encrypted using the "mcrypt" function within PHP. He also wrote a process for me to retrieve these files, one at a time, and when I provide the proper key the file is decrypted and moved to my local disk where I can work on it. All this works just fine.
I find now that my volumes are beginning to increase to the point where my downloading one at a time is getting problematic. I already have written some FTP processes which periodically "harvest" unencrypted files from my site, and I'd like to write one to bring these encrypted files down to my local system en masse and then decrypt them locally.
Is there a VB.Net equivalent to PHP's mcrypt function, that will decrypt these files using the correct key? As you can tell I am not well versed on encryption techniques, but if this can be done and you can point me to some sources of information I would greatly appreciate it.
I hope I have provided enough information to get an answer, but if not please just ask for what is missing and I will respond.
Thanks!
