  Snippett from Link

  //Get the basic FtpWebRequest object with the
  //common settings and security
  private FtpWebRequest GetRequest(string URI)
  {
      //create request
      FtpWebRequest result = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(URI);
      //Set the login details
      result.Credentials = GetCredentials();
      //Do not keep alive (stateless mode)
      result.KeepAlive = false;
      return result;
  }
  
  /// <summary>
  /// Get the credentials from username/password
  /// </summary>
  private System.Net.ICredentials GetCredentials()
  {
      return new System.Net.NetworkCredential(Username, Password);
  }
  

  Ian Nelson : I tried this, had problems using it to FTP to a mainframe. Resorted to using the edtFTPnet component instead which worked like a charm.

• Something like:

  var ftp = System.Net.FtpWebRequest(some url);
  ftp.Credentials = something;
  

  I think... :)

• Native FTP support in .NET is fiddly.

  I suggest using the free edtFTPnet component - I have used this in enterprisey applications with no problems whatsoever.
