Listing files from a web site?

Question

Hello I am having a very hard time figuring out exactly which class I need to use to do what I need to do here. What I need to do is to get a list of all the files in a certain directory on a remote website (using it's http:// URI) and download each of those files even delete those files after I've fetched them. I've been looking at the WebRequest and WebResponse objects but I only seem to be able to get the index page from the location not a list of the files in that directory and the DirectoryInfo class doesn't seem to take a remote URI only a local reference. If anyone has an idea I would really appreciate it! Thanks Joshua

You need to use Directory class and first get all subdirectories recursively and then in each subdirectory and root directory get files using Directory.GetFiles method. After you get a list of files you go through each file using the File class and call its delete method and use Directory.Delete to delete a directory. However you would need admin permissions on the folders to delete the directory and files. You should start with this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/07wt70x2.aspx
