Dear MS-Programmers of System.Net!

I'd like to implement some FTP Features in my Project, use VB.NET
(VS2005/.NET2.0) and I have noticed a very big problem:

I use the Class System.Net.FtpWebRequest and it's obviously not possible to
change the Current Directory within a FTP-Session. The static Method
FtpWebRequest.Create(Url or Uri) creates a Request, and then I'm "caged" in
the Folder specified by the Url.

Though the FtpWebRequest.Method does accept Strings, but all my attempts
were in vain, to set the Method to a CD or CWD Command.

Why?
FtpWebRequest.Method is the String passed to the FTP-Server. Validating this
String, before sending to the Server doesn't make sense. Especially the
predefined Commands in WebRequestMethods.Ftp are far from a complete List of
all supported FTP-Commands.

Oh man - some things could be so easy, but...
Why validating this String - that's the job of the Server - or not?
Why, why, why :-((


Best regards and Greetings,
Peter
