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 (not applicable to the Compact Framework version).
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. Not applicable to the Compact Framework version.
verificationFlags: The verification flags used to verify the FTP server's certificate. Not applicable to the Compact Framework version.
clientCertificate: The certificate used when connecting to the FTP server. Can be null. Not applicable to the Compact Framework version.
dataChannelProtection: The DataChannelProtection used during the communication. Ignored if implicitAuthentication is true. Not applicable to the Compact Framework version.
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. Not applicable to the Compact Framework version.
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.
proxy: The active proxy client for connecting to the FTP server.
timeout: The period of time, in seconds, after which an FTP operation should timeout.
passiveTransfer: Boolean value indicating whether the data connection should be established by the FTP server rather than by the client-side.
defaultRepresentationType: The default value indicating how the data is transferred to and from the FTP server.
traceWriter: The System.IO.TextWriter which will trace the communications between the client-side and the FTP server.
synchronizingObject: The object used to automatically redirect events on the main UI thread. Not applicable to the Compact Framework version.
certificateReceivedCallback: Delegate for CertificateReceived notification. Not applicable to the Compact Framework version.
certificateRequiredCallback: Delegate for CertificateRequired notification. Not applicable to the Compact Framework version.
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.
transferMode: The transfer mode used to send data to and from an FTP server.
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
