Hi,

C#

String remoteUri = "ftp://myftp/";
String fileName = "11187368121flynn1.doc", myStringWebResource = null;
WebClient myWebClient = new WebClient();
myWebClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("*****","*****");
myStringWebResource = remoteUri + fileName;
myWebClient.DownloadFile(myStringWebResource, fileName);
Console.WriteLine("\nDownloaded file saved in the following file system folder:\n\t" + Application.StartupPath);

I am trying to download files from FTP. The above code is working fine in VS 2005 and 2008 but it's not working in VS 2003.

I want to do this in VS 2003 because there are some constraints in our project. Can any one help on this please?

Thanks,
Prasant

Hi Prasant,

I have some unpleasant news for you. .NET 1.1 WebClient has no build in support for FTP and FTPWebRequest was only introduced in .NET 2.0. Your code should throw a "not supported" exception.
You will have to search the net to see if you can find an FTP implementation for .NET 1.1 .

I'm sorry. :((

Modification:
Just found this here on CP maybe it'll do, please check it out:

Good luck!
