Copy files from ftp to remote desktop using C#.Net

Question

I have to copy some files from ftp to another remote desktop computer. I am doing this as:

File.Copy("ftp://IPAddress:Port/MyFolder/MyFile.dll", @"IPAddress\MyLocation");

But this is not working. I think, it happened because the folder in the remote desktop where i have to paste my file is not a shared folder.

so , i want to know how can we copy files from ftp to remote desktop folder which is not shared?

also, the ftp and remote desktop requires the credentials (Password). pls also tell me how can i handle credentials in my code?

Answer 1

The System.Io.File class does not support URI's or the FTP protocol, only access to local file system and shared folders.
