Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

[Ahmed.C]

So I've been working on this FTP server client using Howard Richards FTP client library. After a while the program just stopped logging me into the FTP server and is giving me the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error each time i click the button which is supposed to log me in or show my FTP files. The error happens in "For Each File In FTPDownload.ListDirectory" but that was never a problem. I dont know what happened. Someone PLEASE help me?
PS. I've checked the FTP Server I'm using in the browser to see if it works logged on to my account and it is so there is nothing wrong there.
Code Below:

Change the for statement to say:

For Each f As File In FTPDownload.ListDirectory

Then reference f.

The problem is that you are refrenceing a class File that has not been instantiated.
