I have an option to use either the C# FTP library or the standard FTP command line application to connect and to retrieve data from an FTP server.
Can some one advice on what to prefer.?
Thanks.

Why would you be using a commandline tool, intended for end users, from code? You’ll be having a hard time reading and parsing
stdoutandstderrto get the responses or errors that result from your commands.Just use the
FtpWebRequestandFtpWebResponsesince they provide in a decent, easy-to-use interface that contains error checking and so on.
