Reading FTP Data in stream

[pmclinn]

I have a datadump from internal equipment that is about 500 megs. The
file is dumped every morning in a comma delinated format. Instead of
downloading this file to the client and then processing it is there any
way to stream the data into the client and read/parse it as it comes
in?

The file is on our intranet....

Example file:

Name: Data.csv

Example file structure:
-10,30,50,28
-12,29,49,28
.... on and on for about 500 megs....

If you can find an ftp library that can hand you back a stream, you can
use my csv parser which handles streams to parse the csv data as it
comes in, http://www.csvreader.com .

Xceed FTP for .NET lets you get a stream - there are currently two
ways:

GetDownloadStream: Retrieves a direct access to the readonly data
stream being received, beginning at the specified offset.

FtpClient.ReceiveFile Method: can take a stream as a parameter

Some time ago I modified the FTP library "FTP Client Class Library" at
www.gotdotnet.com to work with streams -- both reading from a stream for
uploading, and writing to a stream for downloading.

I provided the original author with a copy of my changes. My understanding
was she was going to make it available, but I'm not sure if she actually
has. If not, let me know and I can send you a copy.

She hasn't modified it yet apparently. Thanks.

I tried emailing you my revision of the class library, but the email was
bounced back. Do you have a better email address than the gmail account?
