How to count files and change directory using FTP/C#?

[mlong219]

Hi All,

I need to connect to an old VMS server, that's not supported, via FTP, and change directory multiple times within the same session, to count the files in each directory.

I believe I can do this within Wininet.dll <g class="gr_ gr_327 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="327" id="327">api</g> in C/C++.
FtpSetCurrentDirectory
FtpSetCurrentDirectory

But when I look at the .NET Framework, I don't see a change directory function within FTP.

.NET FrameWork
WebRequestMethods.Ftp Class (System.Net)
.NET Framework FTP

Any idea what is the best way to change directory (multiple times) within the same FTP session, and count a total number of files within each directory?

NOTE: I would also like to count the files in read-only if that's possible, just in case one of the files may be getting processed.

Thanks.
