I'm not following you. It *sounds* like you are working from the server end,
and that when an FTP client requests a file, it is appended to prior to
attaching it to the response stream. If so, you don't need to create an FTP
client, but an FTP server. And the server app would not need FTP to append
to the file, which is on the server. It would append to it prior to
returning it. OTOH, if you are working with an FTP client that downloads
files, and youy want to append to the downloaded file, there is also no need
to do it via FTP. The client app can append to the downloaded file prior to
returning it or saving it.
Perhaps you should outline the actual requirements for your app, rather than
the methodology you think you need to employ to satisfy those requirements.

Here is my problem: I need to append a string to a file every time the
user downloads this file. The string is different for every user. I
would like to append the string to the file via ftp. But I am not sure
how I can do this, I've never written an FTP client. Which class can I
use to do this? Is it possible to append to a file that already is in
an FTP server? Will the FTPWebRequest class work?
Thanks in advance for your ideas,
Simone
