    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.

    The listing lines can be manually parsed or modified via the ParsingListingLine event.

    If you would prefer to receive an unprocessed list of items, you can use the GetRawFolderContents method instead.

    The TYPE command will be sent regardless of the value of the SendTypeCommand property when calling the GetFolderContents method.

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

    This method is the equivalent of the GetFolderContents and ListFolderContents methods of the ActiveX version of the Xceed FTP Library.

    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
