There isn't a way to do this, as the -r switch is a client-side switch,
not a server side switch. You will have to issue the list command and then
process the data returned to you appropriately.

Thanks for the response, but I don't understand it. My ftp server supports the command LIST -R <directory>. What I want to do is send the raw command
myself, but the Method property of the FtpWebRequest won't allow "LIST -R" as the help files states, "You can set Method to any command recognized by
the server and use the FtpWebRequest object to send the command. This works as expected only if the command does not require you to send data and the
server does not send data in response to the request."

So my question is, how can I send my own raw command to the ftp server and process the response? Does the FtpWebRequest not allow this?

Thanks!

Hi there, I have written a service in VS2005 that downloads files from an FTP site processes them and then deletes the files if successfully processed. It all works fine when run in our test lab with an FTP site that I setup on IIS. However, I have an issue at the customer site. Their FTP server is on Linux, but I presume that is not an issue. What happened the first time I ran it was that it deleted every other file. It just so...

I try to connect a FTPWebRequest through Proxy and VPN to a remote FTP- server. Sometimes it works sometimes not. When my VB.Net-App (2005) returns the error on the GetResponse-Method, I'll try to use the Windows Explorer to go on the FTP-URI and this always works. So the problem should come from my app. my simplified code: Private m_oFTP As FtpWebRequest Private oResponseDir As FtpWebResponse = Nothing

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,...
