HELP - Example Using WebRequest.GetRequestStream To FTP GET Files

[Robert Johnson]

Does anyone have an example of using WebRequest.GetRequestStream to
GET files from one platform, (AS400, UNIX, IBM390), to another
platform, Windows 2000 or NT, like the DOS FTP routine ?

There are a lot of components out there. Try

Due to budget constraints, I am trying to use .NET Framework supplied
components only. Hence, if anyone can provide me with an answer or
example of the .NET WebRequest.GetRequestStream method for FTPing,
(GET and PUT), files from one platform to another, I would be very
grateful. (No that does not mean a free case of beer!!!!!)

Is there a reason why you want to use WebRequest.GetRequestStream? If not
you can take a look at edtFTPnet
(http://www.enterprisedt.com/downloads/csftp/csftp.html), and I'm sure there
are others out there.

There's no FTP support in the pluggable protocol framework
(WebRequest/WebResponse) in .NET 1.1. You'll need to dig deeper and use
System.Net.Sockets.Socket or look for a 3rd party component.
