Can Cassini support ftp? I need to allow our users to upload & download a fair amount of documents - and ftp is the most straight forward method for us to get this done.

That said, I'd like to keep all of our code (client & web server) the same. Obviously if we deploy the application with two options - Cassini for 'island' and the traditional IIS intra/extra net for 'connected / enterprise' mode - when I need to upload / download files from the web site - the code & implementations are all the same, only the url is different (assuming all data/files have been sync'd etc)


Thanks,

Jimbo

Jimbo,

Unfortunately, UltiDev Cassini is not an FTP server. UltiDev Cassini will have no problem serving files over HTTP, but not FTP. Does you code currently expects an FTP server to be present on the hosting server?

Thanks for your response ... yes, our current setup expects a FTP server to be present on the hosting server. One function is of our app is where the client app will upload a zip file to the webserver, and then notifiy the webserver via a webservice call with the ftp file information. I'll need to explore providing a FTP server along side UltiDev Cassini - or handle the file content portions via the local FS. Was just looking to see how much 'change' would be needed if we deployed the app in such a way.

The idea of being able to provide this type of client 'island' installation option is very interesting...

Thanks again for your time!

Hi, Jimbo.

We are afraid you will need to find a redistributable FTP server. Or you could consider using HTTP for file transfers. MS .NET Framework support of HTTP is very comprehensive and easy to use. That would make your application server-independent.
