Answer 1

This is the simplest way I know.

Dim Client as new WebClient
Client.DownloadFile(Source, Destination)
Client.Dispose

This is superior to using the My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile method per Microsoft's documentation

"The DownloadFile method does not send optional HTTP headers. Some servers may return 500 (Internal Server Error) if the optional user agent header is missing. To send optional headers, you must construct a request using the WebClient class."

Answer 2

There's a simpler way:

My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(Source, Desination)
