WebRequest.RegisterPrefix - whats the creator ?

[Kevin Steffer]

Hi group

I have a webform which I want to make an ftp connection for a
filetransfer from.
The thing is when I use the WebRequest class it says "The URI prefix
is not recognized" and my URI is ftp://localhost/

Then I discovered that the WebRequest class has a RegisterPrefix
method which takes a string as prefix and it needs a
System.Net.IWebRequestCreate but how is such one made ?
The documentation is out of examples

Here is my code:

WebRequest.RegisterPrefix("ftp",WHAT TO BE HERE ??);
WebRequest wRequest = WebRequest.Create("ftp://localhost/");

Hi Kevin,

Unfortunately, the framework does not ship with an implementation of the FTP protocol, so in order to make your scenario work, you'll
need to write your own (or find one on the web). Once you have this FTP class, you'd create a class that implements IWebCreate and creates
instances of this class. This is the interface you'd pass to the RegisterPrefix method.
