Hi,

Add web reference is for web services/WCF services. What you have here is FTP and you can NOT add a reference to it (it is neither web service nor WCF contract).

What you got to do is use FtpWebRequest Class to programatically get your file from vendor's FTP server.

Here is a sample on how to do this:

Ok. as you said I have to create FTPWebRequest class programmatically, but then I have to give reference also programmatically right? The example you have given in the link is a bit complicated to me. If you have another sample then please share it with me. While I am too searching a lot on net but not got proper info. Thanks.
