Does .NET FtpWebRequest Support both Implicit (FTPS) and explicit (FTPES)?

Question

I am being asked to support implicit and explicit FTPS (also known as FTPES). We are currently using the .NET FtpWebRequest. Does the FtpWebRequest

Answer 1

edtFTPnet/PRO is an FTP client library that also supports FTPS implicit and explicit modes. It's simply a matter of specifying the right protocol:

 SecureFTPConnection conn = new SecureFTPConnection();
 conn.Protocol = FileTransferProtocol.FTPSImplicit;

 // set remote host, user, pwd etc ...

 // now connect
 conn.Connect();

The same component supports SFTP also.

And yes, I am one of the developers of this component (and of edtFTPnet, the free, open source .NET FTP client).
