FtpWebRequest.Credentials Property

public:
 virtual property System::Net::ICredentials ^ Credentials { System::Net::ICredentials ^ get(); void set(System::Net::ICredentials ^ value); };

public override System.Net.ICredentials? Credentials { get; set; }

public override System.Net.ICredentials Credentials { get; set; }

member this.Credentials : System.Net.ICredentials with get, set

Public Overrides Property Credentials As ICredentials

An ICredentials instance; otherwise, null if the property has not been set.

The following code example retrieves the value of this property and uses it to display the user name.

Console.WriteLine("User {0} {1}",
    request.Credentials.GetCredential(request.RequestUri,"basic").UserName,
    request.RequestUri
);

You are not required to specify credentials when connecting using anonymous logon. You must set the Credentials property by using a credential of type NetworkCredential; this ensures that the user name and password can be read and sent to the server.

Changing Credentials after calling the GetRequestStream, BeginGetRequestStream, GetResponse, or BeginGetResponse method causes an InvalidOperationException exception.
