FTP communication

[Mircea Pleteriu]

Hi all,

I need to transfer data via FTP from withing my .NET console application.
In VC++ there is the CFtpConnection class to handle the FTP communication.

Does anybody know how to handle if from .NET?

Hi Mircea,

As far as I know do you have the same as in C++ and is there no complete
managed code for FTP. (You have to use the API calls and embed those in your
program)

http://www.indyproject.org/indy.html contains a full FTP component. Its 100%
managed code, and also free.

Hi Chad,

I saw this before is it source, and then what source?
I could not find it on the side.

I could not find until now any FTP dotNet components, but that can be my
fault of course.

(I have written myself of course a FTP program with all API calls in a
managed code program, but that is not full managed code in my opinion.)

Its an assembly, just download and add a reference.

The dot net page lists what its written in with links to source if you want
that too. Its Delphi.net, but with .net it doesnt matter. And assembly is an
assembly.

Doesnt this only give you basic downloads though by URL? No uploads, no
directory listing, no file parsing, etc..?

Hi Rob,

I thought I had seen it but could not find it anymore, and thought I had
dreamed it.

I try it.

Thanks

Mircea,
In addition to the others comments.

Matthew MacDonald's book "Microsoft Visual Basic >NET Programmer's Cookbook"
from MS Press includes a topic that discusses how to write an FtpClient
similar to the KB article that Rob posted.

Hope this helps
Jay

Here's another example that shows uploading as well.

The book "Professional .NET Network Programming" (originally from WROX) from
APress! has a complete example of implementing and FtpWebRequest Class.

Ok. Download and upload. :)

Does it support file lists, list parsing, or any of the other FTP commands?
Its just strict URL based FTP no?
