'Usage
 
Dim serverAddress As IPEndPoint
Dim userName As String
Dim password As String
 
Dim instance As New FtpConnection(serverAddress, userName, password)

public FtpConnection( 
   IPEndPoint serverAddress,
   string userName,
   string password
)

Parameters

serverAddress

The IP address and port of the FTP server to which to establish a connection.

userName

The username used to connect to the FTP server.

password

The password used to connect to the FTP server.

The FtpConnection will create connections with the FTP server transparently and as necessary until it is disposed of. To prevent connections with an FTP server from being kept alive, the CloseConnections method can be called. The CloseConnections method will close any connections that are not being used, however the FtpConnection instance will remain usable.

To test if a connection with the specified FTP server is possible before the FtpConnection instance is passed to FtpFile or FtpFolder objects, the TestConnection method can be used. If a connection with an FTP server is not possible, exceptions will be thrown when trying to access properties of the FtpFile and/or FtpFolder instances.

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
