How to use FtpCommand of WinInet dll in C#

[Ratan]

I am writing an FTP client in C# with the help of the functions
available in WinInet.dll. I am able to get everything to work
except the use of the "FtpCommand" function. Basically I am trying
to issue the "NLST" or "LIST" command to a server using FtpCommand .
I am wondering if anyone was able to successfully use this command in
C# to get a list of files/dir t. I will highly appreciate if someone can
give me the code snippets of FtpCommand using NLST or LIST in C#.

Thanks..

Hi Ratan:

I've used the following component to pull a list of files:

FtpSupport wraps the WinInet API, so you should be able to pull some
code from the project.

HTH,

Ratan,

In addition to what Scott Allen said, if you can afford to wait for .NET
2.0, then you might want to. There will be support for the FTP protocol
(through the FtpWebRequest and FtpWebResponse methods) in the system.

Hope this helps.
