FtpWebRequest and custom commands

How can i send custom command through an FtpWebRequest

I tried with this but it doesn't work :(

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Text;

using System.Net;

using System.Net.Sockets;

using System.IO;

namespace ftpProva

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

FtpWebRequest ftp = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create ("ftp://ftp.microsoft.com");

ftp.EnableSsl = true;

ftp.Method = "SYST";

ftp.Proxy = null;

FtpWebResponse response = ftp.GetResponse () as FtpWebResponse;

response.Close ();

Console.WriteLine (response.StatusDescription);

}

It says that "the method is invalid" referred to the ftp.Method line.

Thanks in advance for your help

We are thinking of a much more enhanced FTP client for the next version... :-)

We do not support custom FTP commands. It has to be one of those defined in WebRequestMethods.Ftp
