Free FTP Library [closed]

Answer 1

After lots of investigation in the same issue I found this one to be extremely convenient: https://github.com/flagbug/FlagFtp

For example (try doing this with the standard .net "library" - it will be a real pain) -> Recursively retreving all files on the FTP server:

  public IEnumerable GetFiles(string server, string user, string password)
    {
        var credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, password);
        var baseUri = new Uri("ftp://" + server + "/");

        var files = new List();
        AddFilesFromSubdirectory(files, baseUri, credentials);

        return files;
    }

    private void AddFilesFromSubdirectory(List files, Uri uri, NetworkCredential credentials)
    {
        var client = new FtpClient(credentials);
        var lookedUpFiles = client.GetFiles(uri);
        files.AddRange(lookedUpFiles);

        foreach (var subDirectory in client.GetDirectories(uri))
        {
            AddFilesFromSubdirectory(files, subDirectory.Uri, credentials);
        }
    }
