    • Easily upload and download a directory from the server with easy synchronization modes
    • Easily transfer a file or folder directly from one server to another using the FXP protocol
    • Conditionally transfer files using rule based whitelisting and blacklisting
    • Automatically verify the hash of a file & retry transfer if hash mismatches
    • Configurable error handling (ignore/abort/throw) for multi-file transfers
    • Easily read and write file data from the server using standard streams
    • Create, append, read, write, rename, move and delete files and folders
    • Recursively deletes folders and all its contents
    • Get file/folder info (exists, size, security flags, modified date/time)
    • Get and set file permissions (owner, group, other)
    • Absolute or relative paths (relative to the "working directory")
    • Compare a local file against a remote file using the hash/checksum (MD5, CRC32, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512)
    • Dereference of symbolic links to calculate the linked file/folder
    • Throttling of uploads and downloads with configurable speed limit
    • FTP monitors to monitor folders on FTP servers and trigger events when files are added/changed/removed
  • FTP protocol:
  • Asynchronous support:
    • Synchronous and asynchronous methods using async/await for all operations
    • Asynchronous support for the IAsyncEnumerable pattern for GetListing methods (see GetListingAsyncEnumerable)
    • All asynchronous methods can be cancelled midway by passing a CancellationToken
    • All asynchronous methods honor the ReadTimeout and automatically cancel themselves if timed out
    • Asynchronous support for progress tracking of file transfers during data upload/download
    • Implements its own internal locking in an effort to keep transactions synchronized
  • Extensible:
    • Easily add custom logging/tracing functionality using industry-standard ILogger interface
    • Easily add support for custom non-standard FTP servers (see the Custom Servers page)
    • Easily add support for more file or directory filtering rules (simply extend FtpRule)
