    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.

    Remarks

    If you want to retrieve the contents of another folder, you could use the ChangeCurrentFolder and/or ChangeToParentFolder methods to change the current working folder.

    The current working folder can be retrieved via the GetCurrentFolder method.

    If you would prefer to receive a processed list of items, you can use the GetFolderContents method instead.

    The TYPE command will be sent regardless of the value of the SendTypeCommand property when calling the GetRawFolderContents methods.

    The GetRawFolderContents method will send the LIST and PASV or PORT and TYPE commands to the FTP server.
