Receive(String,Int32,String,String,AuthenticationMethod,VerificationFlags,Certificate,DataChannelProtection,Boolean,String,Boolean,Boolean,Boolean,ISynchronizeInvoke,CertificateReceivedCallback,CertificateRequiredCallback,ByteProgressionCallback,ItemProgressionCallback,Object,String[]) Method

Receives a list of files from an FTP server, specifying a port, a username/password, an authentication method, whether authentication is implicit verification flags, a certificate, data channel protection, whether existing files will be replaced, directory structure will be preserved, transfer will be recursive, and delegates for notifications.

Parameters

hostname: The hostname of the FTP server to connect to. An IP address can also be used.
port: The port of the FTP server to which to connect to. If 0 is passed, 990 is used if implicitAuthentication is true; otherwise, 21 is used.
username: The username used to connect to the FTP server.
password: The password used to connect to the FTP server.
authenticationMethod: The authentication method to use when connecting to the FTP server.
verificationFlags: The verification flags used to verify the FTP server's certificate.
clientCertificate: The certificate used when connecting to the FTP server. Can be null.
dataChannelProtection: The DataChannelProtection used during the communication. Ignored if implicitAuthentication is true.
implicitAuthentication: If true, the SSL handshake occurs at the very beginning of the connection; otherwise, the AUTH command is sent after the Welcome message to initiate the SSL handshake.
localDestinationFolder: The local destination folder into which the files will be placed.
replaceExistingFiles: true if existing items in the destination should be replaced; false otherwise.
recursive: Boolean value indicating if files contained within sub-folders should be gotten from the ftp host.
preservePaths: Boolean value indicating if the directory structure should be preserved in the destination folder.
synchronizingObject: The object used to automatically redirect events on the main UI thread; null if not required.
certificateReceivedCallback: Delegate for CertificateReceived notification.
certificateRequiredCallback: Delegate for CertificateRequired notification.
byteProgressionCallback: Delegate for ByteProgression notification.
itemProgressionCallback: Delegate for ItemProgression notification.
userParams: Opaque data that will be passed back to the event handler when an event is raised.
filesToReceive: A list of strings representing the files to be gotten. File paths may not start with a \ or a /. If a path represents a folder, it must end with a / or a \.

Requirements

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
