Access remote server using C# windows app

pratcp

I have a remote server (a shared hosting webserver) where I have few
users ftp some flat files. I need to access these files using a windows
app/windows service written using c# and run it on a nightly basis.

How do I access the remote server in a c# windows service or console
app? The reason I need remote access is that I cannot have any type of
schedule jobs running on a shared hosting webserver. I was
contemplating on using SSIS sql 2005 packages, but again the hosting
provider will not allow me to run sql server agent and execute jobs on
the database server.

Any thoughts will be really helpful...

Thanks Michael. FtpWebRequest seems promising as it allows for async
operations as well.

Access Back-End Over the Internet?

by: Raphi | last post by:

Hi, I've been using an Access application I wrote for an office with the front-end stored on all computers and the back-end on one of them serving as an Access file server. Now we're moving to a 2nd office 15 minutes down the road. Only one office will be open at a time, so theoretically it'd be possible to copy the back-end manually every night from one office to another, but frankly, that's pretty annoying.

Data Access Pages DAPs

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
