No FTP Support?

Hi everyone,

I just read that the .NET framework does not support access to the FTP
protocol (in other words, no FTP class). If this is true (I would be
shocked - .NET is supposed to be a world class internet development tool),
does anyone know if it is provided in 2.0? I know there are components and
examples out there, but I'd rather use something that is built in.

Come on, Microsoft - even PHP supports FTP, and it's free!

Yes it is.

Hi Bob,

There will be very basic FTP support in the upcoming .NET framework as
far as I know from the most recent news I got. I believe it will only
handle ftp "URLs" (a la WebRequest). If you need anything else, you're
still much better off with a professional library / component such as
Xceed's (ours). You'll be able to send/receive multiple files (with a
single method call, at that), supports passive mode, most FTP server
types (expandable), secure FTP, and pretty much everything else you
can think of.
