Connecting through a proxy server

The Ftp class allows for connections through SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxy servers. To use a proxy server set the ProxyHostname and ProxyPort properties.

Note

If your proxy requires authentication you can set this using the ProxyUsername and ProxyPassword properties.

Example

[C#]

// proxy information

String proxyHost = "10.0.0.1";

int proxyPort = 2121;

String proxyUsername = "jsmith";

String proxyPassword = "secret";

// create Ftp instance and set proxy information

Ftp myFtp = new Ftp(hostname,username,password);

myFtp.ProxyHost = proxyHost;

myFtp.ProxyPort = proxyPort;

myFtp.ProxyUsername = proxyUsername;

myFtp.ProxyPassword = proxyPassword;

// connect

myFtp.Connect();

[Visual Basic]

' proxy information

Dim proxyHost As String = "10.0.0.1"

Dim proxyPort As int = 2121

Dim proxyUsername As String = "jsmith"

Dim proxyPassword As String = "secret"

' create Ftp instance and set proxy information

Public WithEvents myFtp As Ftp = Nothing

Ftp myFtp = New Ftp(hostname,username,password)

myFtp.ProxyHost = proxyHost

myFtp.ProxyPort = proxyPort

myFtp.ProxyUsername = proxyUsername

myFtp.ProxyPassword = proxyPassword

' connect

myFtp.Connect()
