Hello ,

Thanks in advance.

I would like to tell you I have already googled for same but I am unable to find write code.

I have uploaded jpg image file on server successfully. Now on Show button click event I want to show that file on PictureBox.

For better understanding, lets take example I have stored 10 images with names from 0.jpg to 9.jpg .

On window I have 3 controls , text box , show button and picture box.

When I type 0.jpg in text box, and click on show button 0.jpg stored at ftp server should be shown in picture box.

I hope you have understood my task. Please guide me how I can do it.

Have you tried to use .Load('ftp url') function.

Can we integrate username password in it.

No, I use edtFtp free library to download the file locally and then use Load('image path') to show it.

Hello,

Can we load image in picture box without storing locally ?

As far as I know edtFTP does not allow to get an Image or Bitmap object. You need to download it first.

All you need is to use the class FtpWebRequest: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.ftpwebrequest%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

Ya I agree with you I have to use FtpWebRequest class.

Only one thing I want know, Is it possible to load image in picture box without downloading it on local machine.

I am using .net 3.5 windows form application.

Without downloading in the sense that without storing on local disk.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 25-Aug-15 1:35am

There is no such thing as miracle: you always download resource from the server. But that's right: you don't have to use local disk, because the stream can be a memory stream. Read the documentation on System.IO.MemoryStream.
