I have a problem with FTP. How can put a listener on the traffic?

Hello, Arne!

A> I have a problem with FTP. How can put a listener on the traffic?

Whats the problem?
if you mean trace listener, here is the doc
( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/hyb3xww8.aspx )
( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/ty48b824.aspx )

Vadym,
I find the diagnostics inadequate. I need to find a port listener. Apache
use to have a good one, but I forgot where to find it.

Hello, Arne!

You can use ethereal or network monitor as network sniffer

I am finally getting my listener to work. The FTPWebRequest is sending the
command 'Type I', which is an invalid command. Does that have anything to do
with type image. How can I set type to binary or ascii?

Hello, Arne!

FtpWebRequest.UseBinary = true; will set to binary mode

Vadym,

Does the log below make sense to you.
Why am I entering into passive mode?

Hello, Arne!

Set UsePassive property of FtpWebRequest to false.
If you create FtpWebRequest with Uri parameter then UsePassive and UseBinary are equal to true...
