How to connect to an FTP server

---

Connecting to an FTP server with edtFTPnet/Express is simply a matter of:

1.   Creating an FTPConnection object

FTPConnection ftpConnection = new FTPConnection();

2.   Setting the address and login properties

ftpConnection.ServerAddress = "";

ftpConnection.ServerPort = serverPort;

ftpConnection.UserName = userName;

ftpConnection.Password = password;

3. Calling the Connect() method.

ftpConnection.Connect();

The Connect call will return when it's successfully connected and logged into the server, or throw an exception if it fails to connect or log in.

Note that ExFTPConnection also offers an asynchronous version of the Connect method, called BeginConnect, which returns instantly and performs the connection/login operation in the background.  Please refer to the How to use asynchronous methods topic to learn more about this.
