Exception :: FTP Connection Timeout

[Amar Gaikwad]

Hi All,

I want to read the contents (only the filenames) from the ftp server.
The code which I have throws connection timeout exception :: "A
connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly
respond after a period of time, or established connection failed
because connected host has failed to respond".

This code sometimes works properly and sometimes throws exception. So I
want the solution for the timeout exception (how should I increase the
time out time for any ftp connection using C# ).

Waiting for your fruitful response.

Thanking you.

If you're using 1.1, then go here:

http://www.codeproject.com/cs/internet/ftplib.asp

and get that library.

It'll save you a bunch of time in development.

You have not described anything about how you're attempting to connect to an
FTP server, what class(es) you're using, etc. You have only described a user
experience. Therefore, no analysis can be made.
