How do I implement support for ftp in WP7?

ftp, windows-phone-7, xna

Solution

Since there are no supported socket capabilities in the initial release of WinPhone , you cannot directly FTP. You would have to create an "FTP Proxy" web service which your phone would call and have the service do the actual FTP and relay the files.

Problem

Hi I would like to retrieve documents from an ftp in my Windows phone 7 application (built with XNA in my case). As far as I understand WP7 does not support ftp due to port and protocol(?) contraints. Is there any way to get ftp support working? I guess I will be able to implement it my self once socket support is added but I dopn't wan't to wait for that. Cheers /Jimmy
