Use a regex:

C#

private static Regex regex = new Regex(
      "^(?<Host>.*@.*?)/(?<Path>.*)$",
    RegexOptions.IgnoreCase
    | RegexOptions.CultureInvariant
    | RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace
    | RegexOptions.Compiled
    );

This spilts your string into two groups: Host and Path. - you want the Path only.

"thank you OriginalGriff, But how to use it :("

C#

string s = "ftp://me@localhost/newfolder/newfolder1/";
    Match m = splitFTP.Match(s);
    if (m.Success)
        {
        Console.WriteLine(m.Groups["Host"].Value);
        Console.WriteLine(m.Groups["Path"].Value);
        }
    ...

private static Regex splitFTP = new Regex("^(?<Host>.*@.*?)/(?<Path>.*)$",
                                          RegexOptions.IgnoreCase
                                          | RegexOptions.CultureInvariant
                                          | RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace
                                          | RegexOptions.Compiled);

Will print:

ftp://me@localhost
newfolder/newfolder1/
