I am trying to implement FTP transfer using FluentFTP in C#. Getting a directory listing is very easy, but I am stuck on downloading files.
I found one article that has an example in its comments here but it won't compile because I cannot find where the class FtpFile comes from.
Does anybody have an example of how tocan I download a file from an ftp server using FluentFTP ?
EDIT: I found some examples here https://github.com/hgupta9/FluentFTP But there is no example on how to actually download a file.
In the this article Free FTP Library there is an example but it does not compile. This is the example
FtpClient ftp = new FtpClient(txtUsername.Text, txtPassword.Text, txtFTPAddress.Text);
FtpListItem[] items = ftp.GetListing();
FtpFile file = new FtpFile(ftp, "8051812.xml"); // THIS does not compile, class FtpFile is unknown
file.Download("c:\\8051812.xml");
file.Name = "8051814.xml";
file.Download("c:\\8051814.xml");
ftp.Disconnect();
EDIT: The solution
The article I found contained an example that set me in the wrong direction.
It seems there was once a Download method but that is gone long ago now.
So the answer was to let that go and use the OpenRead() method to get a stream and than save that stream to a file.
