Alternative to OpenCF.FTP - stable

Hi everyone, I am looking for a STABLE FTP library for Compact Framework. I would prefer a library where I don't have to fix or step through any code, but just use as is.

While the free OpenCf.FTP is great, I think it is at this point creating more work for me than my actual coding and I am afraid I don't have time allotted for this.

Any libs you guys have had experience with? Good/bad?

+1 A:

Check out IP*Works from \n Software. Solid and well supported.

i looked at the site and for the life of me I can't find the trial download for ftp lib for compact framework.

no idea if they have an eval version. I had the release from day 1.

Xceed also has a solid FTP library for .NET CF.

is it fast? Currently, it takes 13 seconds to transfer a file that's 5KB. It takes about 16 seconds to login.My app logs in and retrieves 2 files at startup, so to the user it looks like it takes 40+ seconds to login. If Xceed is similar speed then I will pass. Could you provide some details on your experience with it?

With the terrible times you are mentioning, I wouldn't be surprised if you had other issues (connectivity problems?) than simply FTP. Xceed FTP should give you faster connection and xfer. Else it's probably not the library's fault.

Thanks, before purchasing I will certainly test the set-up to eliminate other factors. Currently, the ftp is in passive mode and a majority of download time is actually "sleeping". This seems to be the default mode for OpennetCF.FTP.

What i find the most bizarre about CF is that it lacks FTP functionality. I mean it is a framework for MOBILE apps for God's sake. Perhaps someone from MS could enlighten me on why file transfer functionality is missing from mobile apps framework.

I am sure someone will come with some long and smart sounding explanation. Knock yourself out, it still makes no sense at all.

Try edtFTPnet/Compact. A great FTP library for .NET CF that includes source code.

+2 A:

Our Rebex FTP/SSL supports .NET CF since 2006. It shares the codebase with Rebex FTP which is maintained since 2004. I guess it is probable quite stable - for example Microsoft licensed this FTP/SSL component and is using it in Visual Studio 2010 for web deployment. Source code available.
