Im trying to build an ftp class in VB.NET but i want it to be able to
encrypt the dataport and commandport but i have no idea how to do it.

does anyone have any clue how to do it?
either code or a website explaining the procedure would help.

Thank you in advance.

You can use SSLBlackbox (http://www.eldos.com/sbb/desc-ssl.php) to get
SSL-enabled sockets.

As for SSL/TLS in FTP - you should check the RFC for FTP. I don't remember
exact number, but that RFC describes the sequence of commands needed to turn
on SSL/TLS

Also, EldoS provides fast support so your questions will be answered in that
newsgroups.

Thank you for your reply, the thing is that i dont have that kind of
money that "premade" solutions costs, if i had i could have bought some
powertcp ftp component with ssl and tls.

So this project is supposed to be built with the framework only.

Ill try to find a rfc for it tho the last time i tryed i found only the
normal ftp rfc.

Thank you.

You can also download the whidbey beta of the .NET framework. This supports
SSL for FTP downloads.
