Hi,

I am looking at your FTP Client code and I am getting a few issues. When I try to list the file(s) of a ftp server.
From Vb.net:

VB

For Each file As FTPfileInfo In ftp2.ListDirectoryDetail(sRemoteDir).GetFiles()
....
Next file

I get a string returned with the following:
(from in ListDirectoryDetail.... Dim str As String = GetStringResponse(ftp))

<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Directory listing for /out/</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <h2>Current directory is /out/</h2> <br> <hr> <DD><IMG SRC="http://10.142.10.100:80/http://-internal-/02ea93086b12/menu.gif"> <A HREF="ftp://xxxxx:xxxxx111!@101.101.11.111/">..</A></DD> <DD><IMG SRC="http://10.142.10.100:80/http://-internal-/02ea93086b12/text.gif"> <A HREF="ftp://xxxxx:xxxxx111!@101.101.11.111/out/dotnet%20error.txt">dotnet error.txt</A></DD> <DD><IMG SRC="http://10.142.10.100:80/http://-internal-/02ea93086b12/text.gif"> <A HREF="ftp://xxxxx:xxxxx123!@101.101.11.111/out/export.txt">export.txt</A></DD> <hr> </BODY> </HTML>

The problem appears to be that the _ParseFormats does not cater for the above format in it's expressions. Can you shed some light on this for me? I've changed the ip's etc for security reasons.

FTP has nothing to do with file types, not counting the difference between "text" and "binary" mode which is pretty much obsolete; so for almost all practical purpose "binary" should be used. This way, you can get/put files as is.

Acting as a FTP client .NET is way too simple. All you need is using the class System.Net.FtpWebRequest and related classes. Please see the description and the code sample:
