Moving a file on a FTP server

[K Viltersten]

I've found a couple of examples for moving a
file on a FTP server to another location but
all of them required something like this.

char[] command = "PASV\r\n".ToCh arArray();
Byte[] cmd = Encoding.ASCII. GetBytes(comman d);
ftpSocket.Send( cmd, cmd.Length, 0);
readResponse();

Is that neccessary or can i do remote, FTP
file management using e.g. FtpWebRequest
class? If so, how?

Re: Moving a file on a FTP server

For any kind of FTP work buy yourself an FTP component.

You will save yourself weeks of time.

For example, see http://xceed.com/FTP_NET_Intro.html

The WebRequest and WebClient stuff is URL oriented - single
URL oriented, so it does not have support for FTP features
like rename, which is what you want.

Write something yourself or find something already written.
