FtpConnect - Windows Forms

A basic ftp application made with C# and Windows forms that connects to a ftp host and includes simple operations such as read contents in a directory, upload a file, delete a file, or download a file.

Made as part of a final project in Fall 2016 for an introduction to desktop app development class.

• NOTE: Since this application was made for an intro class, it's recommended to run on a test ftp server.
• Because of simplicity directories only span the few list boxes

Other projects created for the final include:

• Simple login program using a SQL local database with Visual Studio. The solution contains each one of the other 3 projects created for the final as a separate form once the user logs in.

• Simple implementation of a file watcher program that watched a source directory for changes and published the changes to the destination directory. Link to source: https://github.com/hjohnson12/FileSync
• Text Editor application written in C# and Windows Forms. Link to source: https://github.com/hjohnson12/TextEditor

NOTE: Not currently being worked on

• May update the repositories to include Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform controls once Xaml Islands fully releases
