Where do I find FtpWebRequest

Question

Hi, I am new to FTP in VB.NET and would like to know where I can find the FtpWebRequest class mentioned on this site. I seems that it should under System.Net.FtpWebRequest, but I don't have this option. I only see System.Net.WebRequest. Where should I look for this, or do I need to add a reference to the project first?

Thanks,
J

"Where should I look for this" - I'd start with Google.

Are you serious? It would take few seconds to find out. Look at this MSDN page and see the whole hierarchy on top of the page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webrequest.aspx[^].

Dude, as mentioned, I am new to this stuff. Thanks for what you gave me, but it is not helping me. How to I make this class part of my project in order for me to use it's functions. I need something for a FTP project I am busy with.

You did not ask about it. You asked "where do I find...". The answer is: look at the code sample at the end of the article, but use System.Net.FtpWebRequest instead of System.Net.HttpWebRequest using the help page on System.Net.HttpWebRequest which you can navigate to by clicking.

Isn't Google a nice thing? Pity, that not many people seem to know about it.

My 5. :)

Thank you very much.
What are you doing? You provoked this guy to some comments that call reporting for abuse :-)

Geeesss, what is it with the people on this forum. All I get for an answer is cocky remarks? Things like: "Are you serious? It would take few seconds to find out" or "Isn't Google a nice thing? Pity that not many people seem to know about it". Ever read the part at the bottom that says: "Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid." I would not be asking questions on a forum, waiting for an answer if I did not already explore other options. When I Google'd this topic, I found a lot of confusion as well from other people. Don't worry about this question. It seems like I am just stupid and I should seek and answer somewhere else where I can get a straight answer. Thanks for everyone's help, or not.

What else should I say to a person who is given exact link but keeps saying it is not useful? I have no idea how it was possible not to find this reference.

Now, I really don't have no idea what else do you need when you get this link and read the article. Did you see the code sample at the end? If not, what kind of reader are you. If yes, what's your problem? I am unable to guess the problem, as I don't have an access to the RAM you have in your brain. This is you who is supposed to explain your problem.

If you simply explained your problem in the comment to this answer, I would gladly tried to help you. Instead, you are trying to play offended. In this case, you are on your own. Who would take an interest in helping anyone with such attitude. It's just boring.

And I would be just curious to listen to any rational argument about "cocky remarks". You are talking as if it was something bad. Can you explain what's bad.

Do you really think "All I get for an answer is cocky remarks?" Did anyone tell you lie is a bad thing?

SA, my question was very clear. Yes, I did see the code at the bottom, hence the reason I asked where you get the FtpWebRequest from. In the code, it states:
Imports System.Net.FtpWebRequest. What I said in my question is, I don't get this option when I do the same. In other words, when I enter:
Imports System.Net. ... Then I get WebRequest, not FtpWebRequest. Not too worry, I will find the answer eventually.

Now, with that out of the way, lets discuss your comment. As mentioned, yes I read the article. I was clear in my question in saying that I am new to this stuff, so that you can see with what type of person you are dealing with. A person that does not know how this works, but wants to learn. Having said that, to say stuff like "Äre you serious? It would take me..." implies that I am stupid and you are too just cool in knowing the answer. Just remember one thing, you deal with this stuff every day, it seems. I dont, I still learn. So yes, I am offended about the way you present yourself. What do you mean by the "All" part is a lie? There were two posts and both of them had remarks that were uncalled for. Anyway, lets stop this arguing now, cause this is not the forum for it. Rather email me if you want to carry on.
