I found the answer, if I write "ftpRequest.EnableSsl = true;", its mean that now is FTPS. Its work/

Thank you for your help

 FtpWebRequest ftpRequest = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://dda-ft-prd01.psagot.co.il");
            ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return true; };
            ftpRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("test_download", "Aa123456");
            ftpRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory;
            ftpRequest.EnableSsl = true;
            ftpRequest.UsePassive = true;
            FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)ftpRequest.GetResponse();
            StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());

Why I have to go to a third party?
Via dot net can not I?

Thank you

Even .Net doesn't wrap everything for you. Sometimes these kind of things can be complex enough that its just easier to buy a 3rd-party tool.

Having said that, there are sites out there that purport to show you how to do this. E.g. this one  (which I have not tried).

Hi YoniAL,

.NET Framework does not support FTPS natively. You could also use SFTP for secure file transfer. Also FTPS and SFTP are two very different thing see the difference here. Hope this helps you.

Rebex SFTP
