Programmatic access to FTP file download/upload.

[Subrata]

hi,
Is there any FTP support provided in the .NET framework libraries (v
1.1)? I have a .NET application running as Windows Service that needs to
download a file from a FTP location programmatically. Also, the application
needs to upload the processed file to the FTP location programmatically once
it's done processing. Does .NET framwor classes have this kind of
capabilities?
Is there any (MS) recommended tools/freeware for doing this task of
programmatically accessing a FTP site?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Subrata,

Until .NET 2.0, we will introduce a new class FtpWebRequest Class to handle
FTP issue.
In .NET 1.1, we have to write our own ftp client.
Here is a link for your referecne.
