Introduction

An addition to the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to 1.x is the support for FTP. All these days we had to rely on 3rd party libraries which suited most of our needs, but for sure, there is an extra pleasure using the .net framework library classes. The code included is not designed to be a full-fledged reusable library, but rather an easy to use and reusable pieces of code which is easily comprehensible and can be reused and tweaked to fit your specific needs. Therefore, the code for each functionality (upload, download, delete etc…) can be easy picked up separately and reused. The main motive behind this article was the unavailability of .NET 2.0 FTP sample codes and their usage in C#; may be because it is a new entrant to the .NET scenario or the third party implementations available were working pretty well, but this area of the .NET 2.0 library has not gotten enough focus.

Thank you so much for putting this together. I needed to dynamically pick up data with ssis and the ftp task wasn't dynamic enough.

Thanks a lot, man.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
I searched the whole internet for FTP operations using C# and .net libraries. I could find some on MSDN, but it was not easy to understand and takes a long time to read. Your article is upto the point and very much reusable. This was a quick requirement for our business and you saved us.
Hoping to see more articles from you.

Thanks Again,
John
