I am a novice with secure FTP. I am developing a Windows application in VS-2008 with framework 3.5 and need to download and upload files. From what I am told is this will be to/from an SSH FTP server running on either port 21 or 22 -- can't recall right now. I'll need to get file size so I can compare it to the downloaded file's size unless there is a better way to do it. I understand that there is a login and password for the FTP site and that I will need to supply a public key (private key?) supplied to me by the site administrator. I need to know which package would be best to download and later purchase. I would like to keep this as simple as possible Any advice would be most appreciated.
