WebRequestMethods.Ftp cd command help

[saunderl]

hello,

I'm trying to send custom commands using the methods object and I am
too dense to figure it out;

FtpWebRequest request =
(FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://server");
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "pwd");
request.Method = "ls";

or CD or any other command I always get this error

System.ArgumentException was unhandled
Message="This method is not supported.\r\nParameter name: value"
Source="System"
ParamName="value"
StackTrace:

Settings\saul01\My Documents\Visual Studio

Just a little bit of help would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!
