How do I implement support for ftp in WP7?
Hi all,
I'm trying to write a WP7 app to display Australian weather and to do this I need to directly download and process files on an FTP server containing all the data.
I was very surprised to see WP7 does not support FTP via the Framework so does anyone know any way around this? I tried this code using WebClient but of course I get a NotSupportedException :-(
Uri BOMUri = new Uri("ftp://ftp2.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo/IDN10064.xml");
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("anonymous", "janeDoe@contoso.com");
client.DownloadStringAsync(BOMUri, "100064_summary");
I thought maybe it might be possible to download an FTP file using HTTP but I'm not sure - anyone have any ideas how I might get around this (short of having to download all the files to an HTTP server via a normal WinForms or service)?
I really need to find an answer for this so any help would be really appreciated.
Mike
