sending files via ftp (i think)

Question

Hi I need to send informatio in the form of a text file from the net (when a user submits some data) to my local servers. I am not sure how to do this, but I thought that it might work with ftp. As far as I know, there is no ftpClient class or sometjing similar in .Net is there? If there is, where can I find it and if not, does anybody have any idea how I might get the info onto my server. Thanx Ruan

Do you want to upload a file from browser to your web server? Why not use standard FILE upload mechanism? http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/asp/file_uploader.asp You may be interested in looking these examples too: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Internet/WebRequestNResponseMDB.asp http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Internet/UploadDownlaodWebFilesSAD.asp If you're interested in FTP check this : http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Tools/NFTPExplorer_ver2.asp Happy uploading! :)

There's no native FTP mechanism in framework 1.1 but there is a System.Net.FtpMethods class in the next version of the framework... Too bad it's not out for a while. There are FTP sample applications out there (I know there's one on VBIP.com  you can probably find one and if it's a COM component you can do a COM interop to make it work for you. Good luck.
