Shell Programming and Scripting

As far as how, you'll need to get the unix administrator to set you up with a unix account. You could reuse some of your existing code, but connect to the telnet port instead of the ftp port. I think Porter suggested ssh as a more secure way of connecting. But telnet should at least get you there if you are not concerned with security.

I should qualify the telnet statements. It assumes that there aren't firewalls in the way and that your unix box is not strictly an ftp server. That the unix system allow remote logins.

Ok this is my final question here. But 1st let me say something; I learned a lot from your replies indeed and i want to thank you for that. Thanks!!! it is highly appreciated

As for the question; What you believe is the best way to make an FTP client if i miss the simplicity of System.Net class which comes with Framework 2.0 ?
What is an alternative of this .NET class that exposes FtpWebRequest/Response classes and allow you to see/upload/download files in just a few lines of code?
What if i go for more intuitive code like using SSH protocol??? If it's possible at all?

Thanks ones again you are great

*BUMP*

C'mon guys!@ one more answers and that's all i want. Thank you very much

I suggested you run Putty's plink.exe as a child process and you did not want that.

I suggested an implementation of ssh in C# and you did not want that.

You can implement SSH in C# if you want but you may underestimate the complexity or have better things to do with your time.

I think most people here are more familiar with unix. I'm not sure how much .NET expertise you'll find here.

Maybe you are right kahuna. Sorry for the inconvinience. I go to ask people to other forums related with .NET.

Porter: /n software inc - The Leading Provider of Internet Components is commercial library and it's not very cheap. Plus, as i said i am more interested about solution wihtout using 3rd party products that means pure C# code.
However thanks for your willing to help.

Thanks UNIX masters .. bye for now
