Downloading files to memory

You can download a file and store it to memory by using the Download method that takes a Stream as the first argument.

Example

This example gets the contents of the remote file test.txt. It is assumed the remote file already exists.

[C#]

// test.txt contents = "This is a memory stream test.\r\n"

string rFile = "test.txt";

int buffersize = Convert.ToInt32(myFtp.GetFileSize(rFile));

// create memory stream

MemoryStream bout = new MemoryStream(buffersize);

// download remote file

myFtp.Download(bout, rFile);

// get memory stream buffer

byte[] buffer = bout.GetBuffer();

[Visual Basic]

' test.txt contents = 'This is a memory stream test.\r\n'

Dim rFile As String = "test.txt"

Dim buffersize As Double = Convert.ToDouble(myFtp.GetFileSize(rFile))

' create memory stream

Dim bout As System.IO.MemoryStream = New System.IO.MemoryStream(buffersize)

' download remote file

myFtp.Download(bout, rFile)

' get memory stream buffer

Dim buffer As Byte() = bout.GetBuffer()
