FTP application 1

[tuzojazz]

Hi:

I need to write a FTP application to download a file from a remote server.

I found the "WebRequestMethods.Ftp Class" in microsoft.com but there are not examples.

How can I use this class or how can I write my FTP application?

Is there another class that can I use?

Thanks!

Hi, I suppose it depends on how much of an FTP client you have to write. You may want to look at the FtpWebRequest class in v2 of .NET also, you'll need to read the FTP RFC 959 so you can send and handle the appropriate commands.

On the other hand if you know the name and location of the file you need you may be able to use a HttpWebRequest to get your file, which would make your life a LOT easier.

You may also want to look into picking up an open source off the shelf solution. I've had extremely good experiences working with the open source .Net FTP library from
