FTP'ing in c# app...

[Daniel Bass]

Hey,

There's a client requirement to have my application send some files to
another server on the same network through FTP.

All I need to do is connect to the provided server and port, with the
provided username and password, then upload some files in binary mode, then
disconnect.

Is there a way in .Net to do this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Daniel

It should also be noted that FTP support will be provided out of the box
in the next release of .NET (there is an FtpWebRequest and FtpWebResponse
class I believe).

Hope this helps.

Thats in the next release which is a ways off - its also likely to be quite
basic as the other support is in .NET now.

I tried out the Indy and for the first time since I can remember, I read a
little bit of documentation, plugged in what I thought looked to make sense
when compared with some of the intro help stuff, and it worked no problem!

Excellent! ;o)
