Read file from FTP to memory in C#

Question

I want to read a file from a FTP server without downloading it to a local file. I wrote a function but it does not work:

private string GetServerVersion()
{
         


        

Answer 1

I know this is an old question, but I thought I'd suggest using path.combine for the next guy reading this. Helps clean up these kinds of issues.

        string url = Path.Combine("ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/fortran", "README.TXT");
