hi guys,

i have recently implemented an ftp class in vb.net for work with one
of my clients. unfortunately when i put my software live i found that
the client requires the a firewall parameter to be passed into the ftp
class to  make it work correctly.

I have been able to link to the ftp directory using ws_ftp pro -  i
want to replicate this functionality in my code in vb.net 2.0.
unfortunately i dont have a clue how to go about this. in ws_ftp i
setup a firewall with a hostname and select '(internal) USER with no
logon'. then i basically just apply this setting to my site which has
the usual (host/username/pwd).

can anyone tell me what is happening here or point me to a resource
which will help me. unfortunately i need resolution quite soon. if
anyone could point me at a vb.net class library with the correct
functionality & examples then this would also help

Thanks

CG

Based on your message, I'm not completely sure about what you want to 
achieve. Is your network having some kind of authentication in place that 
Ipswitch's WS_FTP supports, or are you having problems with firewall 
settings?

If you could clarify your question, we'd be able to better help you.

Thanks!
