    In This Topic
    Connects the FTP client to an FTP server using the specified System.Net.IPEndPoint (IP address and port).
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 

    Public Overloads Sub Connect( _
   ByVal serverAddress As IPEndPoint _
) 
    'Usage
 

    Dim instance As FtpClient
Dim serverAddress As IPEndPoint
 
instance.Connect(serverAddress)
    public void Connect( 
   IPEndPoint serverAddress
)

    Parameters

    serverAddress
    An System.Net.IPEndPoint representing the IP address and port of the FTP server to connect to. If 0 is specified for the port, 21 will be used.
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    FtpInvalidStateExceptionCannot perform the requested operation because the FTP client is in an invalid state.
    FtpReplyExceptionAn error reply was returned by the FTP server.
    FtpIOExceptionAn I/O error has occurred.
    FtpInternalExceptionA fatal FTP-specific error has occurred..
    Remarks

    This method will only connect you to the FTP server. Once connected, you must call the Login method to log-in to the FTP server.

    Example
    The following example demonstrates how to connect to an FTP server using an IPEndPoint. If you are using an IP address (ie: "192.168.0.128") or a server address (ie: "localhost" ), it is much simpler to use the overloads of the Connect method that do not use an IPEndPoint. 
    Dim ftp As New FtpClient()
    
Dim host As IPHostEntry = Dns.Resolve( "localhost" )
Dim endPoint As new IPEndPoint( host.AddressList( 0 ), 21 )

ftp.Connect( endPoint )
    FtpClient ftp = new FtpClient();

IPHostEntry host = Dns.Resolve( "localhost" );
IPEndPoint endPoint = new IPEndPoint( host.AddressList[ 0 ], 21 );

ftp.Connect( endPoint );
    Example
    Dim ftp As New FtpClient() Dim host As IPHostEntry = Dns.Resolve( "localhost" ) Dim endPoint As new IPEndPoint( host.AddressList( 0 ), 21 ) ftp.Connect( endPoint )
    FtpClient ftp = new FtpClient(); IPHostEntry host = Dns.Resolve( "localhost" ); IPEndPoint endPoint = new IPEndPoint( host.AddressList[ 0 ], 21 ); ftp.Connect( endPoint );
