FTP issue - needs immediate attention

[shah.hemalata]

Hi

I have a c# application which needs to access a secured FTP server. I
am using FTPWebRequest for the same.
I am using IE7 and trying to access the FTP server to download the
files using the c# application. It gives me a 550 error message when I
try getting the Response form the FTPServer.

I am aware of the IE7 BUG - it doesnt allows me to use IE but I can
use windows explorer to access the files on the FTP server.

Example: I have to call ftp://ftp.test.com
userid: testets
password:testets


BUt how will my application be able to do this....

Please do reply if anyone knows any work around using C# and IE7.

Appreciate any work arounds - this is kind of urgent and important

Regards
Hem

As far as I know, Microsoft's tech support is fee-for-service. With the
urgency you've indicated, I'd probably go with that approach, were it me.
This is a community based newsgroup where people answer what they can.
Sometimes you get a quick answer from someone who knows, other times you
might get blank stares at best.
