Simple File Listing in Visual Basic

I am working on a project in my spare time… I have been out of VB for too long, and think someone out there can give me a hand, and help me speed up the re-learning process. 🙂
I need to be able to take a look at all files/folders within a certain directory on a server, and then compare that list with one taken from a local pc. How can I get a simple directory listing and transfer that data to a file, or a object type? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out!
