How to transfer multiple files in single FTP session?

[alexjones]

I know that, when transferring files in stream mode, TCP indicates end of file by closing the data connection used to transfer the file. And that TCP prevents reuse of that data connection for a period of time before allowing the connection to be reopened.

I'm looking for a way to insert a time delay between successive download requests in a single FTP session.

I know I can loop through downloading one file per session. It just seems like a shame to have to do that for a couple of hundred files.

Can anybody help with this?

The command-line version of FTP has the mget and mput commands for retrieving and sending multiple files.

I haven't looked at the .NET framework FTP stuff - can you post a short example of your code?
