Connecting to Mainframe Server

Hi,
I need help here.

I am converting an vb application to c#. The existing application connects
to the mainframe server using FTP and downloads a file (dataset).
Is it possible in .NET to avoid FTP and use any providers to connect to the
mainframe server and download a file.

I would appreciate if someone can give a reference to a link or code.

Thanks,
Dinesh
 
The only way you can avoid FTP is if the mainframe server provides another
way of getting at the files.

The Indy project http://www.indyproject.org/ has a very robust upper layer
networking library including FTP support. (free with Delphi source code,
works fine with C# or VB).

The ftp server directory listings are not standarized. Indy handles parsing
them for you.
