FTP file system

This file system provides an implementation for the file system based on the FTP protocol using FluentFTP library.

Usage

var address = "address";
var username ="username";
var password ="password";

using var fileSystem = TagBites.IO.Ftp.FtpFileSystem.Create(address, username, password);
// ... using like standard file system

Remember to use using statement or call Dispose method after usage.

By default, connections use explicit FTPS (FtpEncryptionMode.Explicit) with 3 retry attempts and auto-passive data connections. For full control over the connection (encryption mode, retry attempts, custom port, proxy, etc.), pass a FtpConnectionConfig - which extends FluentFTP’s FtpConfig - instead:

var connectionConfig = new FtpConnectionConfig(address, username, password)
{
    EncryptionMode = FtpEncryptionMode.None,
    RetryAttempts = 5
};

using var fileSystem = TagBites.IO.Ftp.FtpFileSystem.Create(connectionConfig);
// ... using like standard file system

Capabilities

• Synchronous and asynchronous operations.
• Reports permissions from the server, so CanRead and CanWrite reflect the remote account.
• Metadata: last write time only. Hidden and read-only flags are not exposed by FTP.
• TLS is on by default, but the server certificate is not verified - see security policy.
