FluentFTP supports many server types out-of-the-box. However if your company or your hardware is running a non-standard FTP server that does not properly support the FTP protocol, you can customize FluentFTP to work with it. FluentFTP has a variety of properties that let you configure its behavior (check the feature pages for relevant properties).
FluentFTP also has a flexible server system. All server-specific routines for standard FTP servers are implemented in a classes extending from FluentFTP.Servers.FtpBaseServer. Therefore to support a non-standard server you can simply create a class in your project extending this base class and add your custom handling routines in there.
FluentFTP.Servers.FtpBaseServer. Lets call it YourFtpServer. For examples you can look here.FtpClient set client.ServerHandler = new YourFtpServer(); . Make sure you do this before you Connect() to the server.client.ListingCustomParser (example).client.Connect() and then use FTP methods as usualYour class that extends from FluentFTP.Servers.FtpBaseServer supports these extendable handlers, so that you can implement server-specific behaviour.
All of these are optional. You only need to implement the ones you want and the non-implemented ones will automatically fallback to default handling.
Method Description Used forRecursiveList Detect if your FTP server supports the recursive LIST command (LIST -R). If you know for sure that this is supported, return true here. Improving performance of LIST command DefaultCapabilities Return your FTP server's default capabilities. Used if your server does not broadcast its capabilities using the FEAT command. Getting server capabilities IsAbsolutePath Return true if the path is an absolute path according to your server's convention. Supporting weird path formats GetParser Return the default file listing parser to be used with your FTP server. Parsing directory listings DeleteDirectory Perform server-specific delete directory commands here. Return true if you executed a server-specific command. Improving performance of DeleteDirectory DeleteDirectoryAsync Perform async server-specific delete directory commands here. Return true if you executed a server-specific command. Improving performance of DeleteDirectory CreateDirectory Perform server-specific create directory commands here. Return true if you executed a server-specific command. Improving performance of CreateDirectory CreateDirectoryAsync Perform async server-specific create directory commands here. Return true if you executed a server-specific command. Improving performance of CreateDirectory
