hi,

i found some helpful code for accessing a ftp in passive mode using
createdatasocket...
but i need to write something that reads files from an ftp using active
mode.

what is the best way, low level using datasocket, or derivating
something from the webrequest class?

also, i understood that in active mode you must supply your ip to the
ftp server and listen for its response.
that would prevent using any pc on our local network and would work only
with public ips, is this correct?

thanks for any pointers on the subject :-)

Check this article. It has an example (originally from Lance Olsen of
Microsoft) that I've converted to a few different forms and use it quite
successfully.
