I’m creating an application to synchronize a local folder on my computer with a FTP server.

Since I don’t wan’t to access the FTP server directly over it’s address, because it would be really complicated, I wan’t to map the server temporary to a network folder so that my synchronization algorithm can work on it like on a local folder.

Is there something like this:

//Map the server to the specified path
FtpMapper.MapFtpServer("ftp://myserver/", "username", "password", "M:\\");

DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo("M:\\");

/* Do some work on the directory */

FtpMapper.UnmapFtpServer();

    There isn’t such a library, as far as I know.

    This requires a windows filesystem driver that understands FTP commands and a .NET wrapper over it.

    I have seen such drivers (without a wrapper) as part of commercial FTP suites, but nothing open source or free.
